MUFFINS 1 egg 3/4 c. milk 1/2 c. vegetable oil 2 c. flour 1/3 c. sugar 3 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease bottoms only of 12 muffin cups or use paper liners. Beat egg in bowl, stir in milk and oil. Stir in remaining ingredients all at once just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Immediately remove from pan. Apple-Nut Muffins: Stir in 1 apple, peeled and chopped, with the milk and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon with the flour. Substitute brown sugar for the sugar. Mix 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped nuts and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; sprinkle over batter in each cup. Blueberry Muffins: Stir in 1 cup fresh or 3/4 cup frozen (thawed and drained) with the milk. Honey-Orange Muffins: Substitute honey for the sugar and stir in with the milk. Stir in 2 tablespoons grated orange peel with the flour. Oatmeal-Raisin Muffins: Stir in 1 cup raisins with the milk. Decrease flour to 1 cup; stir in 1 cup quick-cooking oats, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon with the flour. Substitute packed brown sugar for the sugar. Surprise Muffins: Fill muffin cups about 1/2 full. Spoon 1 teaspoon strawberry jam onto batter in each cup; top with enough batter to fill cups 3/4 full.
