Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup or fruit for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until everything is well mixed.
- In another bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix — a few lumps are okay!
- Fill each mini muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let them cool slightly before serving warm with maple syrup or fresh fruit.
Notes
For a healthier twist, use whole wheat flour or replace some sugar with mashed bananas or applesauce. Consider adding blueberries or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
