Servings: 18
Equipment
- 1 Bowl
- 1 muffin tin
Ingredients
Basic Muffin Batter
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 3/4 c all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 stick butter salted, 1/2 cup, room temperature
- 3/4 c brown sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1/2 c sour cream not light, or Greek yogurt will work
- 2 tsp vanilla extract I usually only add this when I'm making fresh fruit muffins, not chocolate chip
- 1/4 c milk 2% or whole
What to add to muffins
- 2 c fresh berries optional
- 1 c chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Using a stand mixer, add wet ingredients and blend until smooth. Then slowly incorporate with flour mixture. Gently fold in 1.5-2 c. fresh berries or 1 c. chocolate chips, whichever you desire.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Spoon batter into muffin cups 3/4 of the way full. (if you want to add a crumble to fruit muffins mix together 1/2 c. brown sugar + 1/4 c. quick oats and 1 tsp cinnamon and spoon that on top of each one.)
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 5 minutes, then adjust temp down to 350 degrees F for 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown on top and top springs back when gently touched in the middle. Do not over bake.
