Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, honey, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, and whisk until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
If adding optional nuts or raisins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
