Golden vanilla muffins are a type of muffin that gets its color from the addition of brown sugar, which gives it a golden hue. They are often flavored with vanilla extract, which enhances their sweetness.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and egg until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in walnuts, if using.
- Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
