How to Make Basic Sweet Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and oil until well combined.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in your choice of mix-ins (if using).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
