Poppy Seed Muffin Recipe
This Poppy Seed Muffin Recipe is easy to make and gives a wonderful lift to even the simplest meal.
The Best Muffin Recipe Starts With Basic Ingredients
I think you'll find this to be the best muffin recipe that can then be altered with minor tweaking into many different flavors!
Ingredients
| 1 Egg | 3/4 C Milk |
| 1/2 C Vegetable Oil | 2 C Flour |
| 1/3 C Sugar | 3 tsp Baking Powder |
| 1 tsp Salt | 1/4 C Poppy Seeds |
Directions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Grease bottoms only of about 12 medium muffin cups, 2-1/2 X 1-1/4 inches.
- Beat egg; stir in milk and oil.
- Stir in remaining ingredients all at once just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).
- Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full.
- Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Immediately remove from pan.
- Makes about 1 dozen muffins.
*If using self rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.
This Is A Great Basic Muffin Recipe...
I use it all the time!
Just by omitting the poppy seeds from the above recipe leaves you with a versatile, basic muffin recipe that you can change slightly to make into a variety of batters. See Right Column
This recipe has served me well for over 25 years. Many times it has become a quick addition to a rather plain meal when something a little bit more was called for.
Whether to make a smaller amount of food go further when unexpected guests arrive or to spruce up the menu when company is planned on~these muffins are a staple for me!
This might seem unappealing to some, but is a rather humorous observation in my view. Our kids used to say the poppy seeds looked like fly specks in the muffins. They would ask when we were going to have 'fly speck muffins' again! I hope that isn't giving away too much about my housekeeping on the ranch!
Serve these muffins with Ham and Bean Soup! They are a perfect match!

Serve Muffins With a Flair
Line a basket or plate with a pretty napkin. When the muffins are done, remove them, piping hot from the pans, and arrange on the napkin.
Bring the corners of the napkin up and over the bread to keep it warm.
I always do this when serving bread and it works like a charm. It also adds an aesthetic element to your table.
