Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups blueberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 5

If making blueberry muffins, gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve plain or with butter, and enjoy fresh. These muffins can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
