I started baking these four years ago, when I was eleven and completely new to baking. My mum gave me the recipe so that I could learn the basics of baking and how food works. Now, I'm the go-to one in the house for birthday cakes and shared lunch bakes. These muffins are really easy, and easy to make with complete beginners.

Ingredients

10min, 20min
12 muffins
  1. 2 cups plain flour
  2. 3/4 cups white sugar
  3. 4 tsp baking powder
  4. 1/2 tsp salt
  5. 1 cup milk
  6. 1/2 cup canola oil
  7. 1 egg
  8. 1-2 tbsp vanilla essence
  9. Up to 1 cup choc chips, nuts, fruit, etc
  10. For chocolate muffins, 2 tbsp cocoa powder replaces 2tbsp flour

Steps

10min, 20min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced (392°F or Gas Mark 6)

  2. 2

    Combine all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl and mix until combined.

  3. 3

    Mix all wet ingredients separately in another bowl until mostly mixed.

  4. 4

    Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix thoroughly, but not so much as to end up with tough muffins. A few floury areas are fine! The mixture should be neither wet or the consistency of play-dough.

  5. 5

    Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases and scoop the mixture into each case. Personally, I use an ice cream scoop, as a heaped scoopful is perfect for one muffin.

  6. 6

    Put the muffins in the oven for 15-20 minutes, checking them about 5 minutes before they're due to come out.

  7. 7

    Now, you can ice your muffins or serve them as they are. Guaranteed to be delicious every time, and a favourite with kids and adults alike.

    boxes of stuffing i used stove top, The amount water and butter your boxed stuffing calls for mine called for 1 1/2 cups water per box used and 1/4 cup butter per box used, I always add a bit of bullion to mine when I put the water and butter in..I use about half a teaspoon (optional)
