Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Stir just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overmix. Some small lumps are okay and will help keep the muffins tender.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 6 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- • Don't overmix the batter! Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep your muffins tender and light. • Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture and even mixing. • For extra flavor variations, try adding: - Chocolate chips - Fresh berries - Chopped nuts - A sprinkle of cinnamon• Check your muffins a minute or two before the recommended baking time. Ovens can vary, and you want to catch them at the perfect moment of doneness. • Let the muffins cool slightly in the tin before removing to help them set and prevent breaking. • For a professional bakery look, fill your muffin cups about 2/3 to 3/4 full to allow for perfect rising.Pro Tip: These muffins freeze beautifully! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months and reheat for a quick, delicious treat anytime.
