Warm, cozy, and bursting with aromatic spices, these Chai-Spiced Buttermilk Muffins are the perfect way to bring a little comfort to your morning (or afternoon… or midnight snack session—no judgment here!).
Fluffy, lightly sweet, and packed with that irresistible chai flavor, they’re a breeze to whip up and even easier to devour.
Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
1. Prep Your Ingredients
Gather everything you need—flour, sugar, chai spices, buttermilk, and the rest. Measure them out so you’re ready to go. (Pro tip: If you don’t have buttermilk, no sweat! See the FAQ for an easy swap.)
2. Mix Dry & Wet Separately
Whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, spices) in one bowl. In another, mix the wet ingredients (buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla). Keeping them separate at first ensures even mixing later.
3. Combine Gently
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined—no overmixing, or your muffins might turn into little hockey pucks. A few lumps are totally fine!
4. Fill & Bake
Divide the batter into a lined muffin tin, filling each cup about ⅔ full. Pop them in the oven and bake until golden and fragrant. (Your kitchen will smell like a cozy café—fair warning.)
5. Cool & Enjoy
Let them cool for a few minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. (Or, if you’re impatient like me, eat one warm with a smear of butter. Zero regrets.)
These easy Chai-Spiced Buttermilk Muffins are tender, lightly sweet, and packed with cozy chai flavor. Perfect for breakfast, snacking, or impressing your brunch guests without breaking a sweat.
