I started baking these four years ago, when I was eleven and completely new to baking. My mum gave me the recipe so that I could learn the basics of baking and how food works. Now, I'm the go-to one in the house for birthday cakes and shared lunch bakes. These muffins are really easy, and easy to make with complete beginners.

Ingredients

10min, 20min
12 muffins
  1. 2 cupsplain flour
  2. 3/4 cupswhite sugar
  3. 4 tspbaking powder
  4. 1/2 tspsalt
  5. 1 cupmilk
  6. 1/2 cupcanola oil
  7. 1egg
  8. 1-2 tbspvanilla essence
  9. Up to 1 cup choc chips, nuts, fruit, etc
  10. For chocolate muffins, 2 tbsp cocoa powder replaces 2tbsp flour

Cooking Instructions

10min, 20min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced (392°F or Gas Mark 6)

  2. 2

    Combine all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl and mix until combined.

  3. 3

    Mix all wet ingredients separately in another bowl until mostly mixed.

  4. 4

    Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix thoroughly, but not so much as to end up with tough muffins. A few floury areas are fine! The mixture should be neither wet or the consistency of play-dough.

  5. 5

    Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases and scoop the mixture into each case. Personally, I use an ice cream scoop, as a heaped scoopful is perfect for one muffin.

  6. 6

    Put the muffins in the oven for 15-20 minutes, checking them about 5 minutes before they're due to come out.

  7. 7

    Now, you can ice your muffins or serve them as they are. Guaranteed to be delicious every time, and a favourite with kids and adults alike.
