Ingredients
- 2 medium eggs
- 125ml/1/2 a cup of vegetable oil
- 250ml / 1 cup of milk
- 200g/ I cup of sugar.(you can add even less sugar if you want to cut down on sugar)
- 400g /2 and 1/2 cups self-raising flour (or same quantity plain flour and 3 tsp baking powder)
- 1 tsp salt
- 100g chocolate chips or dried fruit such as sultanas or dried cherries
Method
- Heat oven to 200C/180C . Line 2 muffin trays with paper muffin cases.This recipe makes about 20–22 muffins. You can also just oil your baking tray if you do not have muffin cups.
- In a large bowl beat the eggs lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min or you can use a whisk or fork. Add the oil and milk and beat until just combined then add the sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- Sift in the flour and salt (and 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 the 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.
