📝 Foolproof Easy Muffin Recipe

Ingredients (Makes 18–24 standard muffins)

• 4 cups all-purpose flour

• 4 tsp baking powder

• 4 large eggs

• 1¼ cups sugar

• 2 tsp essence of your choice (vanilla and almond are my go-tos)

• 2 cups milk

• 1 cup vegetable oil

🔪 Step-by-Step: How I Bake These Muffins to Perfection

1. Preheat Your Oven
Set it to 350°F (180°C). Line or grease your muffin tin. I use paper liners for easy cleanup.

2. Sift the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together. This helps the muffins rise evenly.

3. Whisk the Eggs and Sugar
In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and frothy—this adds lift and structure.

4. Add the Wet Ingredients
Stir in the essence, milk, and oil. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.

5. Combine Wet and Dry
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
💡 Lumpy batter = light, airy muffins. Don’t overmix!

6. Fill and Bake
Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool and Enjoy
Let muffins cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Or do what I do—eat one warm, straight from the oven. No regrets.

💡 Pro Tips for Muffin Success

• Avoid Overmixing: It toughens the batter. Stop when there’s no visible flour.

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Cold eggs or milk can affect the texture.

• Preheat Properly: A fully hot oven helps that initial rise.

• Check Your Baking Powder: If it’s older than 6 months, replace it for better lift.
