Moist and flavorful with a subtle vanilla note, it offers a tender crumb and a lightly sweet taste that pairs well with a variety of mix-ins like chocolate chips, berries, or nuts.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy to ensure a tender muffin texture.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • This is a great base muffin recipe that can be customized by folding in 1 cup of chocolate chips, berries, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
  • For a sweet and crunchy topping, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the muffins before baking.
