Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup skim milk, or your preferred milk/milk alternative
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Place muffin liners in a muffin tin and spray with cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to
combine.
-
In another bowl, add the sugar, milk, vanilla, egg, and oil. Whisk to
combine.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just
combined; batter should be lumpy. Do not over mix.
- Fill the muffin liners 3/4 of the way up.
-
Add your favorite muffin flavors/additions (fruit, nuts, chocolate
chips, oats, etc.). Take a toothpick and push the additional
ingredients down into the batter and swirl them around a little.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If you are going to use a muffin addition that is not very sweet, like blueberries, it would be a good idea to roll that ingredient around in a little bit of sugar before you add it to the muffin batter.
The baking powder will start to react as soon as the wet ingredients are added to the dry ingredients. So, it's a good idea to have all of your additional ingredients prepared (ie. fruit peeled and chopped) before the batter is made.
