3 Muffin Recipes That Are Easy To Make
I’m sharing 3 muffin recipes with you today because you can make them year-round. I love them for breakfast, snacks, and brunch get-togethers. Mark and I had to pick up some muffins for about 150 people for a picnic at the park in our neighborhood a few weeks ago. Homemade ones are so much better than store-bought ones, but life is too hectic to make that many. We served breakfast to families which included muffins, juice, bananas, milk, and chocolate milk. The chocolate milk went really fast as well as the store-purchased muffins. You know when you go a few months and you forget how good a moist breakfast cupcake is, that’s what I call them, you know it’s time to bake some.
These 3 muffin recipes can be made with ingredients from your pantry. Please teach your children to cook from scratch. If your grandchildren or nieces or nephews live close to you they would love to grab a bowl and mix up a batch, I promise. I use bread flour because that’s all I store. Yes, you can use regular enriched white flour. Cupcake/Muffins Liners and Silicone Liners
3 Muffin Recipes
1. The Perfect Muffins
- 2 cups flour (I use bread flour)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg (slightly beaten)
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 12-muffin pan, or use paper liners. Combine the dry ingredients, then stir in the egg, oil, and milk. Mix with a fork just until the flour disappears. The batter will be lumpy. Use 1/4 measuring cup to scoop the batter into muffin cups. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
2. Blueberry Muffins
- 2 cups flour (I use bread flour)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg (slightly beaten)
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup fresh blueberries or thawed frozen blueberries
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 12-muffin pan, or use paper liners. Combine the dry ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, mix the egg, milk, and oil. Make a well in the flour mixture, pour in the egg mixture and blueberries. Stir until the flour mixture is moistened, the batter will be lumpy. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Apple Muffins
- 1-1/2 cups flour (I use bread flour)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg (slightly beaten)
- 1 cup peeled (shredded/grated apple)
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the dry ingredients. Stir together the remaining ingredients. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened. Fill the greased muffin cups half full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
I hope you try my 3 muffin recipes because you can make them from scratch with the ingredients out of your pantry. Add some fresh fruit and eggs from the refrigerator and you are good to go. Thanks again for being prepared for the unexpected. May God bless this world.

Thanks Linda. These look easy and yummy. Best of all, when I make it from scratch I can use my GF flour so the whole family can enjoy them.
Hi Rita, which GF flour do you use, that I can recommend it? I need to try some of my recipes with GF flour, thank you!!! Linda
My favorite muffin is a pumpkin muffin. Of course, it is NOT made from scratch but it is so easy, moist and delicious. All it takes is a can of pumpkin puree (I have used the same quantity of home grown pumpkin puree) and a spice (or carrot) cake mix. Mix the puree and dry cake mix together (I also add more pumpkin pie spice). Portion the mixture in 12 muffin cups and bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
If you want to make these from scratch, you would just need to use a basic cake mix (just the dry ingredients) and spices to your own taste and the pumpkin puree.
I should try this: the cake mix and applesauce – hmmmm!
Oh, Leanne, I call that partially made from scratch, I LOVE it! I could make muffins even faster! Oh, applesauce muffins sound yummy. Is it the small can of pumpkin puree? I still buy the large cans even though no one but my husband and I live here. LOL! Mine is the 29-ounce size, is that the one you use with a cake mix? Thank you!!!! Linda
Yum, yum, yum! Totally making this!
Hi, Baxter, I love muffins, enjoy! Linda
