  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with a gluten-free blend.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Let it cool slightly before mixing.

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs slightly, then add the melted butter and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.

  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack.
