Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, honey, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, and whisk until the wet ingredients are fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

If adding optional nuts or raisins, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
