These No-Fail Muffins are the Easiest Vanilla Muffin Recipe Ever!
I got tired of the boxed muffin recipes and figured out how to make my own no-fail muffins. Need a seriously good vanilla muffin recipe that you can rely on? This is it.
No-Fail Muffins
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we love breakfast. It’s the best meal of the day. And so is brunch. I mean, I could just have those two meals sometimes and not eat the rest of the day and be just fine. Who’s kidding–I’ve totally done that. So, of course, I make muffins pretty frequently and I just got so bored with the options. There’s blueberry and then–blueberry. Ugh, that’s tiring.
So, I decided to make the logical leap and come up with my own recipe. I mean, why not, right?!

Tips to Make easy Breakfast Muffins
- Muffins are just the bulkier older brother of the more delicate cupcake….just kidding, they’re just the breakfast cupcake that doesn’t convey icing. Which I’m ok with. But, that means you make your muffins like you would a cupcake. So, here’s my favorite advice:
- Start with Cake Flour – To get an effort-free high-rise muffin, the simplest way is to plan on using cake flour. If you don’t keep cake flour in your pantry though, you can always make cake flour using a bit of cornstarch. Or…
- The Trick with All-Purpose Flour – If you’re just not into the whole cake flour thing (I totally understand), it’s totally ok to just use regular all-purpose flour. Although the result will not be the exact same as using cake flour, you can still get a tall muffin by filling each muffin liner with about 1/4 cup of batter (or 2/3 full as opposed to 1/2 full as you would with muffins made with cake flour).
- What to do if you have ugly muffins? Drizzle some chocolate over the top or fill a collapsed middle with some jelly or fresh fruit. Get creative. Don’t give up if your muffins come out of the oven ugly.
