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 egg large
- ¼ cup canola oil 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
- Prepare additional muffin mix-ins like fruit or nuts before mixing batter, as baking powder activates immediately when wet and dry ingredients combine.
- For less sweet additions such as blueberries, roll them in a bit of sugar before folding into batter to add sweetness and help prevent sinking.
