How to Make Simple Whole Wheat Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
