The Best Ever Moist and Delicious Muffins
Here’s a recipe for some of the best-ever moist and delicious muffins. These muffins are soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor!
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup sour cream (or buttermilk for a tangy flavor)
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter , melted
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup mix-ins (e.g., blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients**: flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients : eggs, sour cream, melted butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
5. Fold in your choice of mix-ins , such as berries, chocolate chips, or nuts.
6. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
7. Bake for 18-22 minutes , or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Moist Muffins:
– Use sour cream or buttermilk to add moisture and tenderness to the muffins.
– Do not overmix the batter —mix just until combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
– Add fruit like blueberries or bananas to make them extra moist and flavorful.
– You can also sprinkle sugar on top before baking for a crunchy, sweet topping.
Enjoy your delicious, soft, and moist muffins!
