How to Make Red Velvet Muffins at Home

Red velvet muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are surprisingly easy to make at home, and you only need a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon red food coloring

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
5. Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in red food coloring until desired color is reached.
6. Fill muffin liners two-thirds full.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• For a richer chocolate flavor, use melted dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
• You can also frost your red velvet muffins with cream cheese frosting, chocolate frosting, or any other type of frosting you like.
