Ingredients
Muffin Base Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Mix-Ins
- ½ cup chocolate chips or fresh fruit (like blueberries or strawberries) Optional for added flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
- If desired, fold in the chocolate chips or fruit for added flavor.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For light and fluffy muffins, do not overmix. Experiment with flavors by switching up the add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or spices. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
