Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup milk until smooth.
Step 4: Combine Mixtures
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 5: Bake
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
