Ingredients (Makes 12 Muffins):
– 2 eggs
– 125ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
– 250ml (1 cup) milk
– 200g (1 cup) sugar
– 360g (3 cups) flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 100g (2/3 cup) raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F) or Gas Mark 4.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
3. Add vegetable oil, milk, and sugar to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. If you like, fold in raisins or chocolate chips for an extra treat.
7. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup.
8. Spoon the muffin batter into each cup, filling them about 2/3 full.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep checking every 5 minutes after 20 minutes of baking as oven times may vary.
10. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes.
11. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
