Best Ever Muffin Recipe

When we need a quick bread addition to our meal, we make muffins. They are foolproof, and everyone loves them! They are a welcome side item with most traditional meals. These muffins can be made with hard white, hard red, or soft white wheat.

This simple recipe is so versatile. We often add chocolate chips for breakfast muffins. Left-over chocolate chip muffins make a great snack later in the day too.

Feel free to experiment with diced fruits, spices like cinnamon, pumpkin spice, cocoa powder, or nuts. Or leave out the honey for more savory options. Add in shredded cheddar cheese, jalapenos, corn, sausage, etc.

Endless options!

2 cups freshly milled flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup honey
¾ cup milk that is room temperature
½ cup butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, room temperature

Directions:

  1. Melt butter in a medium, microwave safe bowl and set aside to let it cool.
  2. While you wait, in a large bowl, measure and whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
