Here’s a simple and versatile muffin recipe that works for plain, blueberry, chocolate chip, or any mix-ins you like

Basic Muffins Recipe (Makes 10–12 muffins)

Ingredients

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter

• 1 cup (240 ml) milk

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional mix-ins: 1 cup blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

   • Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

   • In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract.

4. Combine Wet and Dry

   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

   • Stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

5. Add Mix-ins

   • Fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts if using.

6. Fill Muffin Cups

   • Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full.

7. Bake

   • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve

   • Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

   • Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For sweeter, golden tops, sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking.

• To make them lighter, you can replace half the milk with yogurt.
