How to Make Basic Sweet Muffin Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, crack and beat 1 large egg.
  4. Add 1 cup of milk and 1/3 cup vegetable oil to the beaten egg. Stir well to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about halfway to two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
