Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries / 1 cup banana nuts / 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in your chosen add-ins (blueberries, banana nuts, or chocolate chips).
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Helpful Tips
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
- Mix the batter gently to avoid overworking it, which can result in dense muffins.
- Frozen fruits can be used, but make sure to coat them lightly with flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
Storage Instructions
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the muffins in a single layer and then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
Pairings
- These muffins are delightful with a steaming cup of tea or coffee.
- Serve with a side of Greek yogurt for a balanced breakfast.
- Accompany with a small jar of homemade jam to enhance the flavors.
