**Cooking Method:** Baking

#### Ingredients

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

#### Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula just until combined - lumps are okay and overmixing creates tough muffins! **For any of the 12 variations listed below, gently fold in your chosen add-ins at this stage before scooping into muffin cups**.
5. Using an ice cream scoop, divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake for 16-18 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack - this prevents soggy bottoms!
8. Serve warm or at room temperature for perfect muffin bliss.

### Storage & Make-Ahead [#](#)

**Storage Advice:** Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Best served slightly warmed.

**Make-Ahead & Freezing Tips:** Muffins freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Wrap individually and thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly.
