There is something so special about a warm mini muffin straight from the oven. These are incredibly simple to whip up and they are the perfect size for grabbing on your way out the door or for packing into a school lunchbox.

You can keep things simple with a classic flavor or mix in your favorite berries and chocolate chips. My best tip is to make sure your ingredients are at room temperature so the batter comes together perfectly every single time.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup add ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, or chopped strawberries

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
In a separate bowl, stir the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until everything is combined, taking care not to overmix.
5
Gently fold in your chosen add ins like berries or chocolate chips.
6
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups until they are about two thirds full.
7
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

These muffins freeze beautifully, so keep a stash in the freezer for busy mornings. To serve, just pop one in the microwave for ten seconds or let it thaw on the counter. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
