What if I told you that I had a super easy muffin recipe that you can use as a base for all your favourite sweet muffin flavours? What if I then told you that this super easy muffin recipe freezes really well so you can make a week’s worth of packed lunch treats in one go?
Would you be excited? Have I whipped you up into a muffin frenzy yet?
Feel free to roll your eyes at this point but in my defence, I’m sat here eating one of the muffins that I made earlier and it really is delicious. I use the same recipe every time as a base and just change the flavours around depending on what we have in and what we fancy. I’ve probably shared the recipe with you all before at some point (I’ve just checked and it was five years ago – wow) but because I don’t want you to miss out, I’m going to share my favourite easy muffin recipe with you again today. 😉
Super Easy Muffin Recipe
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the sugar together.
- In a jug (just because it’s easier to pour) mix the egg, milk and oil together.
- Pour the combine liquids into the bowl with the flour and sugar and give it a good mix.
- The result should be slightly lumpy but with no clumps of dried flour or sugar left.
- Add in your flavouring – I’ve got lots of ideas below on what you can use – today I used 2 bananas and 4 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter.
- Bake in a pre heated oven at around 190 c for 20-25 minutes.
- Depending on your flavour combination, you might like to sprinkle some brown sugar on the top of your muffins when they come out of the oven for a little crunch.
I’ve also made some cheese and ham muffins which are going down just as well as the banana and peanut butter muffins but I’ll share that recipe next week.

I've tried a few muffin recipes and this is by far the best and easiest one. Have put blueberries – frozen – into half the mix. Going to try adding coco powder next time.
Thank you.
Hi
What’s the difference between using vegetable oil ; and butter in the recipe
I ve noticed some recipes use butter
Thanks
These are the best muffins I have ever tasted so thank you.
Thank you so much for posting this, have just tried it and can confirm it works! Me who has never been able to bake anything successfully ever, has made muffins!!!! <3 (To illustrate: I can't even make scones!)
i love muffins recipe
YUM!
I love the idea of a muffin frenzy and peanut butter and banana sounds fabulous. Mich x
These muffins sound delicious. I might just try them out.
I need some blueberry muffins now having read this! Will have to go and see whether we have any in the freezer! 🙂
I love muffins of all sorts, especially blueberry!
Silly question, but do you freeze the mixture before you cook it , or can you freeze the muffins once they are cooked???????thank you
I freeze them once they’re cooked x x
I have never attempted muffins but you make it sound so simple. Perhaps I will give it a try. Cheese and ham muffins sound amazing. I'm pinning now 🙂
Oh my gosh, these look delicious! I'm desperately trying to lose weight at the moment but I now have these bookmarked for cheat days! I also love the sound of cheese and ham muffins, which sound like something which would be perfect for lunchboxes.
Cass, what temperature should the oven be at for this recipe?
That’s a very good question sarah 😉 I’ll add that in to the post now but it’s around 190 c x x
190 Degrees C. or 375 degrees F.
These sound divine, I really need to make more muffins. Might just give this a go.x
