Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 muffin trays with paper muffin cases. In a large bowl beat 2 medium eggs lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min.

  • step 2

    Add 125ml vegetable oil and 250ml semi-skimmed milk and beat until just combined then add 250g golden caster sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.

  • step 3

    Sift in 400g self-raising flour and 1 tsp salt (or 400g plain flour and 3 tsp baking powder if using) then mix until just smooth. Be careful not to over-mix the batter as this will make the muffins tough.

  • step 4

    Stir in 100g chocolate chips or dried fruit if using.

  • step 5

    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.

  • step 6

    Leave the muffins in the tin to cool for a few mins and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Love this recipe- I make 12 good sized muffins with the mixture. I’ve played around with different versions-adding dried fruit, or leftover Christmas mincemeat or chocolate chips but my greatest triumph has been substituting 40gms of the flour for cocoa powder and adding white chocolate chips.

Slightly stodgy but still good base recipe. Didn’t get as many muffins as it said but that’s ok. Going to add some cream cheese frosting to half.
