Recipe: Light Muffins with 9 Variations (using oil, Pillsbury)

Breads - Muffins, Quick Breads
LIGHT MUFFINS

"Warm, fragrant and fresh from the oven, these muffins will satisfy many a craving for "homemade." Bake the basic muffins just as they are or try one of the many variations that we've included... they're all delicious!"

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup 2% milk
3 tablespoons oil
1 egg, beaten

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups.

In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well. In small bowl, combine milk, oil and egg; blend well. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Divide batter evenly among paper-lined muffin cups.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 18 to 23 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from pan. Serve warm.

MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS:
Prepare muffin batter as directed above. Using 6-cup microwave-safe muffin pan, line each cup with 2 paper baking cups to absorb moisture during baking. Fill cups 2/3 full. Microwave 6 muffins on High for 2 to 3 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, rotating pan 1/2 turn halfway through cooking. Remove muffins from pan and immediately discard outer baking cups. Repeat with remaining batter.
