How to Make Plain Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, milk, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder and flour.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. For variations, add specified ingredients now: For cereal muffins, stir in cooked cereal. For whole wheat, add whole wheat flour and brown sugar. For rye, add rye flour, caraway seeds, and brown sugar. For cornmeal, add cornmeal and white sugar.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 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.
