Ingredients
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (240ml) milk (you can use any type, such as whole milk or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup of your favorite add-ins (such as blueberries, chocolate chips, diced fruits, nuts, etc.)
Preparation
Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Pan:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold and mix everything together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
Add Add-Ins:
Gently fold in your chosen add-ins, such as blueberries, chocolate chips, diced fruits, or nuts, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Fill Muffin Cups:
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake Muffins:
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the muffin pan from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely or serve them warm.
These basic muffins are incredibly versatile, allowing you to customize them with your favorite
flavors and add-ins. Enjoy them for breakfast, as a snack, or as a delightful treat any time of day
