Ingredients Notes & Substitutions
Flour: Standard all-purpose flour works best here, skip the cake flour, bread flour and wheat flour.Sugar: Regular white granulated sugar o caster sugar.Baking powder & Baking soda: Make sure they’re not expired or too old.Salt: I prefer kosher or sea salt. If you only have table salt handy, I recommend reducing the amount to half.Spices: For extra flavor! I added ground cinnamon and nutmeg.Buttermilk: You don’t have buttermilk? No problem!!

Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter, but if you only have salted butter handy, you can use it. In this case, skip the salt called in the recipe.Vinegar: You can use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.Vanilla extract: For optimal flavor, reach for pure vanilla instead of imitation. Even better, try homemade vanilla extract!

Preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes before getting started to give it plenty of time to reach the ideal recipe temperature. Don’t overmix the batter. Instead, mix just until you’ve evenly distributed the ingredients throughout the batter. Bake the muffins as soon as the batter is ready. Don’t open the oven door until the muffins have set. Leave the oven closed until the minimum time is stated in the recipe. Every oven is different, so baking times always have to be taken with a grain of salt. Oven thermostats can be wildly off, affecting baking time, so keep an eye on yours. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
