Easy Honey Muffins
I love a good muffin! They’re one of my favorite breakfast foods. I love that they’re portable and sturdy, and there are a million different flavor varieties, so I never get bored.
Besides, it’s a little like eating cupcakes for breakfast, right? 🙂 These honey muffins are so light and tender, with a delicious sweet honey flavor. They’re made with simple ingredients that I always have on hand, and make for the perfect breakfast or snack.
How To Make Honey Muffins
Ingredients –
What I love most about this honey muffin recipe is that you only need a few basic ingredients that I’m sure you already have in your pantry.
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Milk
- Honey
- Butter
- Egg
Directions –
- Prep – Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. You’ll also need to prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with cooking spray or lining with paper liners.
- Dry Ingredients – Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside
- Microwave – Using a small microwave safe bowl, combine the milk, honey, and butter together. Heat the mixture for about 45 seconds in the microwave, or until the butter has started to melt.
- Stir – Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir everything to melt the butter completely.
- Add the Egg – Mix the egg in with the wet ingredients.
- Combine – Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Bake – Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each spot about 3/4 full. Bake for 15 minutes or until the honey muffins are a light golden brown.
Recipe Tips
- Too Sweet? – If you prefer these muffins a little less sweet, reduce the granulated sugar to 1/4 cup. (Having the raging sweet tooth that I do, though, I will stick to the original recipe.)
- Perfect Topping – I love to add Whipped Honey Butter to these muffins while they’re still nice and warm.
