- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- Optional: Fresh berries, chocolate chips, nuts, or savory additions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in any desired add-ins like berries or chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
