Perfectly fluffy vanilla muffins have a moist, tender crumb and classic vanilla flavor. This easy muffin recipe uses simple ingredients and requires minimal work. Enjoy simple vanilla muffins for breakfast, brunch, or alongside your afternoon coffee.
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Grease or line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and set it aside.
Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
Whisk sour cream, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla bean paste in a large bowl until well combined.
Add the flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix until everything is incorporated, do not over-mix.
Evenly divide the muffin batter between the 12 cups of the prepared muffin tin. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden brown, and when a toothpick is inserted into the center, it comes out clean
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
