These muffins are so very easy, only take 5 minutes to make.  They are best eaten warm, but as they are made with vegetable oil they last for a day or two in an airtight tin.  They also freeze well.

For 9 muffins.

Mix together dry ingredients – 255g plain flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 150g caster sugar in a bowl.

In another bowl mix wet ingredients – 1 egg, 240ml milk and 90ml vegetable oil.

Mix the wet and dry ingredients, and pour into around 9 lined muffin tins.

Bake for 20 minutes at 190 degrees C.

Variations:

Chocolate chip muffins – add 75g chocolate chips to the dry ingredients. Sprinkle some more chocolate chips on top just before baking.

Lemon and Poppy seed - Add the grated rind of 1 lemon and 1tbs of poppy seeds to the dry ingredients.
