A quick and easy muffin recipe perfect for beginners, requiring only one bowl and no mixer. These muffins are fluffy, light, and made with simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or 2%, or dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk)
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: ½ cup (75g) fresh or frozen berries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir gently just until blended.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a wooden spoon or spatula. Stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears; the batter should be lumpy.
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins gently to avoid breaking berries or overworking the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the muffins are done.
  8. Let muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins fluffy. If muffins dome too much or crack, lower oven temperature by 10°F next time. Resting the batter for 5 minutes before baking can help hydrate the flour for a softer crumb. Toss berries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
