  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix eggs, milk, oil, butter, and vanilla.

Notes

  • I increased the sugar amount based on feedback for a sweeter taste.
  • For best results, properly measure flour or use a kitchen scale.
  • Do not sift the flour unless specified.
  • Muffins are best enjoyed warm.
