Ingredients
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Replace half the flour with whole wheat for a healthier version.
- Swap sugar for honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener option.
- Baking at 375°F helps achieve the cracked top effect.
- Freezes well; thaw or warm before serving.
