Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Pan
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Make the Batter
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Stir gently until just combined (don’t overmix — lumps are fine).
- Fold in your optional add-ins like chocolate chips or berries.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Pan
- Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups (about ¾ full).
Step 6: Bake
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serving Ideas
- Spread with butter or jam while warm.
- Dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Drizzle with honey or glaze for a treat.
Tips:
- For extra moist muffins, add ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream to the batter.
- Swap regular sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
- Freeze cooled muffins for up to 2 months; reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds.
