SIMPLE VANILLA MUFFINS
I got this recipe from a friend. It is easy to change to make any flavor you like. And they're yummy! I love to top them with chopped nuts and sugar, or a streusel topping. Try mixing in some fresh fruit, or whatever you are hungry for. Change the flavoring if you want too-- maybe almond. One of my personal favorites is blueberry with streusel topping. Mmmm!

BASIC VANILLA MUFFINS FOR DINNER (NOT SWEET!)
Good at dinner especially when served with highly spiced or flavorful main dishes. Similar in taste to a popover or cornbread minus the cornmeal. As one review has mentioned, these are *not* a sweet muffin. I usually serve them at dinner.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 muffin trays with paper muffin cases. In a large bowl beat 2 medium eggs lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min.
- Add 125ml vegetable oil and 250ml semi-skimmed milk and beat until just combined then add 250g golden caster sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- Sift in 400g self-raising flour and 1 tsp salt (or 400g plain flour and 3 tsp baking powder if using) then mix until just smooth. Be careful not to over-mix the batter as this will make the muffins tough.
- Stir in 100g chocolate chips or dried fruit if using.
- Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 20-25 mins, until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the trays will not fit on 1 shelf, swap the shelves around after 15 mins of cooking.
- Leave the muffins in the tin to cool for a few mins and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

BASIC MUFFINS
What could be nicer than warm classic but basic muffins in a napkin on the morning breakfast table? And they are so quick and easy to make, particularly since the ingredients are only lightly mixed, not beaten smooth.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter muffin pans. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the egg, milk, and butter, stirring only enough to dampen the flour; the batter should not be smooth. Spoon into the muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes each.
- Blueberry Muffins.
- Use 1/2 cup sugar. Reserve 1/4 cup of the flour, sprinkle it over 1 cup blueberries, and stir them into the batter last.
- Pecan Muffins.
- Use 1/4 cup sugar. Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the batter. After filling the cups, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and more chopped nuts.
- Whole-Wheat Muffins.
- Use 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour and 1 cup white flour.
- Date or Raisin Muffins.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates or 1/3 cup raisins to the batter.
- Bacon Muffins.
- Add 3 strips bacon, fried crisp and crumbled, to the batter.
Tips:
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Use fresh baking powder and baking soda. Old baking powder and baking soda can make the muffins flat and dense.
- Don't overfill the muffin cups. Overfilling can make the muffins overflow and stick to the pan.
- Bake the muffins in a preheated oven. A preheated oven helps the muffins rise evenly.
- Don't open the oven door during baking. Opening the oven door can cause the muffins to fall.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
These basic vanilla muffins are easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on your taste. They're perfect for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner, or as a snack. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and add-ins to make them your own.
