MY OTHER RECIPES

My mom was the breakfast queen when I was growing up. She always made something delicious for us kids before school or on weekends. These muffins are one of her favorite quick and easy breakfasts. She’s been making this recipe for years.

Back when she was a young college student, she would make these muffins for breakfast. They’re a favorite because not only are they absolutely delicious, but they have only a few ingredients and use one bowl and spoon! Double score!

Easy Breakfast Muffins

Easy Breakfast Muffins -made with only a few ingredients and use only one bowl and spoon!

Yield: 1 dozen muffins

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1/2 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
butter and jam for serving

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400º F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray each cup with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and stir together. Add in eggs, oil and milk and mix only until combined, don't beat or overmix!

Scoop into prepared muffin tin and bake for 15-20 minutes or just until golden and tops spring back when you press on them. Keep in sealed container . These are great served with butter and jam for a quick breakfast!

What I love about this recipe is you can put the extras in a sealed container and then for a super quick breakfast, heat them up one at a time in the microwave for a few seconds. Breakfast to go! These seriously are so easy and a family favorite.

Enjoy!

These muffins are delish! I didn’t have milk so I subbed evaporated milk and it came out great. I also used whole wheat pastry flour and blueberries. My 4 y/o loves them too. They are coming to Disney with us for easy breakfast in the hotel!

I tried this recipe and I can confirm that these muffins are just perfect for breakfast… with a hint of homemade blackberry jelly as far as I am concerned! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this recipe. Tried it this morning, and everyone loved it! I wonder if you’ve ever tried substituting applesauce for the oil? I’ve read you can do that in baking recipes, and I’d be curious how this one would work.

  I have never tried substituting with applesauce, but I’m sure it would work well! :)

I have been baking muffins for over 50 years and I loved these. Added a few blueberries from the freezer. (Stir them into the flour mixture makes for easier mixing). I may add some vanilla next for additional flavour. Simple and fast! Thank you!

Amazing! I doubled the recipe,2 tsp. Almond flavoring, and 1 cup sliced almonds. Served with pear preserves. So very good! Thanks!

Amazing muffins! Thanks so much for sharing!
It’s somewhat difficult to find a simple easy muffin recipe that’s this good.
I used gluten-free grain free flour mixture substituted sugar for Stevia and substituted the oil for pumpkin Purée added a little cinnamon and instantly had the house full with amazing pumpkin muffin smell.
Super moist super delicious and super easy.

What type of oil do you use?

  I use organic canola oil, but you can use whatever flavor-less oil you like. :)

Made these today for the first time, with and without blueberries.
They are so simply delicious either way!!! What a great recipe! And so easy and fast. Might be the first recipe that I actually have all the ingredients at home already 😂
Wish I could post a picture of how beautifully they turn out!!
