Ingredients

All Purpose Flour / Maida – This is the main ingredient that gives structure to the muffins. It makes them soft and holds everything together.

Baking Soda & Baking powder – It helps the muffins rise and become fluffy. It reacts with yogurt to give that soft texture.

Salt (a pinch) – By adding just a little is enough to balance the sweetness and bring out the vanilla flavor.

Sugar – It adds sweetness. It also gives a slight golden color when baked.

Yogurt – It works with baking soda to make the muffins rise. Also the yogurt acts as tenderizing agent which makes the muffin soft.

Milk - milk helps make the cake or muffin soft and fluffy

Vanilla Powder – It gives that lovely bakery-style vanilla smell and taste. Which makes the muffins more flavorful.

Oil or Melted Butter – This keeps the muffins soft and moist. Oil gives a lighter texture, butter gives a richer taste.

Hacks

• Cold water or cold oil can make the batter lumpy, so use room temperature ingredients. Make everything sit out for a few minutes before mixing.
• Just fold the flour in gently. Overmixing makes the muffins dense instead of soft and fluffy.
• If you want even more softness, add a tablespoon of curd, it makes a big difference.
• Just a light brush of oil in the liners helps the muffin not stick to the paper after baking.
• Use an ice cream scoop to pour the perfect amount of batter. Which makes all muffins bake at the same time.
• A sprinkle of sugar or choco chips on top before baking gives a nice crust or melty topping that looks and tastes better.

• Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before baking, It helps to activate the baking soda fully and gives a better rise.
• Store the muffins in an airtight box. Once cooled, keep them in a container to lock in moisture. They stay soft for 2–3 days.
• Don’t open the oven door too early. Opening it before 15 minutes can make the muffins sink in the middle.
