Ingredients
Before we dive into the instructions, let’s take a look at the ingredients you will need to make English breakfast muffins:

3. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract (if using).
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
5. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. You can sprinkle some sugar on top for added crunch and sweetness.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
