- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 large egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
