Description
A versatile and easy-to-make muffin recipe that is perfect for customizing with various add-ins like fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
1/2 cup unrefined sugar (like coconut sugar or maple sugar)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
1/3 cup oil (such as avocado oil, vegetable oil, or melted coconut oil)
1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup add-ins (chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped nuts, shredded carrots, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in your chosen add-ins (chocolate chips, fruit, nuts, etc.).
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To make the muffins vegan, use plant-based milk and egg substitutes (like a flax egg).
For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Store muffins at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
Feel free to customize with different sweeteners, like coconut sugar or maple syrup.
