Description

- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter or oil
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Optional mix-ins: mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or diced strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.

Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and oil instead of butter.

- Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup for extra flavor.
