Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Muffin tin
  • Sifter

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (for added texture)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat and Prep

    Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, almond flour, chia seeds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly distributed. This step ensures that every bite of your Vanilla Chia Muffins has the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Pro tip: Sift the flour to avoid lumps and achieve a smoother batter.

  • Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. The vanilla should release its warm, inviting aroma, setting the tone for what’s to come. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to dense muffins instead of light and fluffy ones.

  • Step 3: Fill and Bake

    Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a few extra chia seeds on top for a decorative touch and added crunch. Pop the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. As they bake, your kitchen will fill with the comforting scent of vanilla—a true mood booster!
