  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line or grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan.

  • Cool melted butter slightly before combining it with the eggs and milk.
  • Store cooled muffins airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
