Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or use muffin liners.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
