Ingredients

¼ cup vegetable oil

½ cup sugar
1 ½ cup flour all-purpose
2 teaspoon baking powder

Baking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Line a muffin pan with muffin papers or grease the pan well.
Combine egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine baking powder, flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Blend only until combined.
Spoon batter into each muffin paper until ⅔ full. Bake for 16-20 minutes.
Store in an airtight bag or container.

Notes

Mix wet ingredients together and dry ingredients together before combining to prevent over-mixing. Baking powder can lose potency; test it with boiling water. Turn the muffin pan halfway through baking for even results. Serve warm after cooling on a baking rack.
