 The ingredients are lightly whipped together by hand, and you only need two bowls and a large balloon whisk and some muffin liners. This recipe will be enough to make 6-12 muffins, depending on the size of the liners.

The dry ingredients in one bowl:

4.8 dl flour

1, 5 dl sugar 

3 large teaspoons of baking powder

One pinch of salt

The wet ingredients in one bowl:

1 egg

3/4 dl canola oil

2.5 dl milk

You can choose any kind of flavor.

For instance, mashed banana (in the wet bowl) with chopped almonds and 4-5 drops of almond essence.

Other options are baking cocoa (chocolate muffins), raisins, chopped chocolate, walnut, cinnamon, blueberry, and so on.

I have used frozen blueberries. 

Procedure:

Preheat the oven to 200-225 C degrees (390-440 Farenheit) 

The dry bowl and wet bowl are mixed separately,

then stir it very lightly together in one of the bowls, stop stirring when it´s partly mixed together. Put the mixture into muffin liners with a spoon. The liners must be filled to the top.

The muffins are baked on the bottom shelf for 15-20 minutes.
