Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (186g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup add-ins (i.e. blueberries)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners and spray them with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, maple syrup, oil, and eggs in a large measuring cup or medium sized bowl. Stir wet ingredients into dry, and stir just until combined. Mixture will be slightly lumpy. Stir in mix ins.
  • Fill muffin cups ¾ full (about ¼cup of batter per muffin liner). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs and the muffins are puffy and golden. Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or cold, plain or with butter and syrup.

Notes

  • If you have buttermilk, use 2/3 cup of that and omit milk and vinegar.
  • You can use your favorite non-dairy milk and add the same amount of vinegar to make a non-dairy buttermilk. 
  • If you want to make them sugar-free just use your favorite sugar-free pancake syrup.
  • I like to use fresh fruit for this recipe, but you can use frozen ones. Just be sure to thaw them and drain off the excess liquid before adding them to the batter. And toss any fruit with 1 tsp flour so they don't sink.
  • Make a batch ahead of time and keep them in the freezer. Simply warm them in the microwave.
  • Use any mix ins like chocolate chips, nuts, spices, fruit, or make savory pancake muffins.
