Simple Muffin Recipe

Ingredients

1. Two cups of all-purpose flour
2. Half a cup of sugar, granulated
3. One spoonful of baking powder
4. Half a teaspoon of salt
5. One cup of milk
6. Half a cup of melted butter or vegetable oil
7. Two huge eggs
8. One teaspoon of vanilla extract

Optional Add-ons

1. One cup of your preferred fruit, such as dried fruit, chopped almonds, blueberries, or chocolate chips.

Directions

• Preheat Oven: Set the oven temperature to 375°F, or 190°C. Grease or line a muffin tray with paper liners.
• Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
• Mix Wet Ingredients: Put the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla essence in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly with a whisk.
• Mix: Add the liquid components to the dry ones. Take care not to overmix; stir just until incorporated. At this point, fold in any mix-ins you may be using.
• Fill Muffin Tin: Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds of the way to the top with batter.
• Bake: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool: After a few minutes of cooling in the pan, move the muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Ideas for Customization

• Add 1 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries to the blueberry muffins.
• Add 1 cup of chocolate chips and fold to make chocolate chip muffins.
• Banana Muffins: Add a little cinnamon and replace the sugar with 1 cup of mashed ripe bananas.
• Savory Muffins: For a savory touch, add cheese, cooked veggies, or herbs.
• Savor your freshly baked muffins! They are excellent for a snack or breakfast.
