Homemade Muffins

The smell of warm muffins in my house is one of my favorite things. But making the same kind gets really dull so I create a base muffin mix and then each time I make variations depending on what the kiddos want!

Cook Time

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Protein

Vegetarian

Serves

8-12 servings

Ingredients

2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
Variations: you can add blueberries, chocolate chips or whatever you'd like to the muffin base mixture

Recipe

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. 
  • In a separate small bowl, beat the egg. 
  • Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and using a fork, stir in the egg, milk and oil. Stir lightly and not too much, just until it’s combined. This helps with the consistency and texture. 
  • If you’re making two kinds of muffins, grab another medium bowl and pour half of the muffin mixture into the second bowl. 
  • One bowl of muffin mix gets the blueberries and the other bowl gets the chocolate chips and coconut flakes.
  • Pour the mixtures in paper lined muffin tins.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick that’s inserted comes out dry.

The smell of warm muffins in my house is one of my favorite things. But making the same kind gets really dull so I create a base muffin mix and then each time I make variations depending on what the kiddos want! The muffins I’m showing today are a mix of blueberries and then chocolate chips and coconut flakes.

It’s a great way for the kids to cook with you because it’s simple and easy to clean up!
