Recipe View Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling the cup with milk to equal 1 cup. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

    I substituted whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour, and they turned out great! A bit denser, but still delicious.

  • Kolby Schowalter

    These muffins were a hit! I added a streusel topping for extra sweetness and crunch.

  • Opal Bahringer

    Easy to follow recipe and the muffins were so moist. I will definitely make these again!
