Easy Master (Formula) Recipe for Muffins (2024)

Tried and tested delicious master recipe for muffins. Add your favorite fruits and throw in some chocolate, too! This formula works and always comes out moist and yummy! No need for any mixer.

My little boy particularly loves them as every time his school asks for a volunteer to bring food for whatever school activity there is he is more than eager to sign me up. He beams every time he comes home from class and says, “Mom, everyone loved your muffins.”

This truly makes baking muffins fun and totally worthwhile. Just to see him smile and be proud of his mom is more than enough!

Through the years, I have sort of developed my own formula for baking muffins which results in very moist and truly tasty muffins.

It’s pretty quick and easy to do and the possibilities are endless because you can add pretty much any of your favorite fruits (fresh, frozen, or even dried!).

You can up the deliciousness by adding either white or regular chocolate to the mix. No need to use any electrical mixer as it’s all done by hand, too!

This makes a batch of 12 muffins and maybe up to 16 even depending on the size of your muffin cups. I fill the liners to the top to create a nice dome that looks like bakery-style muffins.

Here’s a post on techniques I use to ensure a perfectly-looking dome on your muffins. No more flat and deflated-looking muffins!

Hope you try this master recipe mix, tweak it to your liking, and enjoy freshly baked delicious muffins all the time!

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar (you can use either white or brown or a mix of the two – I used half of each)
• 1 cup / 8 oz Yogurt (or Sour Cream)
• 1/3 cup Oil (vegetable or coconut)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups fresh fruit of your choice, chopped (ex. strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, etc.)
• 3/4-1 cup white or regular chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Line a 12-muffin pan with paper cups or muffin liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl beat the eggs. Add the sugar, yogurt (or sour cream), oil, and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs and mix.
3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until combined. Fold in the fruits and the chocolate chips, if using.
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan dividing it equally. Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
5. Remove from the oven and after about 5-8 minutes (when it’s cool enough to handle) transfer each muffin to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
