MUFFIN RECIPE

Certainly! Here's a basic recipe for classic muffins that you can customize with your favorite add-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts:

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup milk

- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped nuts, etc.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. If you're adding any optional ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts, gently fold them into the batter.

6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the muffins are completely cool, you can enjoy them as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Feel free to get creative with the muffin batter by adding your favorite flavors and mix-ins. Blueberry muffins, chocolate chip muffins, or banana nut muffins are just a few variations you can make using this basic recipe. Happy baking!
