- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs

- ½ cup corn syrup
Equipment Needed
- Muffin tin
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rubber spatula
- Oven mitts
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats up, grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy cleanup. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Then, you’ll want to gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. I love the way everything comes together at this stage—it gives off such a lovely sweet scent! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
