Kid's Food: Easiest Muffin Recipe (NOT Gluten Free)

Years ago I adapted this recipe so that I could basically make any kind of muffin I want with the same basic dough. They are so easy it's almost too easy. Today, Brock said he wanted muffins for lunch and in 25 minutes, we had muffins!

Dough Ingredients:
1 1/2c. Flour
1/2 c. Sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c. Shortening
1 egg
1/2 c. milk

Muffin "filling" 1c.
Example: If you are making blueberry muffins - 1 c. blueberries.

Other fun combos:
banana walnut
cranberry almond
carrot apple ginger
chocolate chip

Whatever you include - it should amount to 1 cup. So, shredded apple and carrot with some fresh grated ginger up to 1 cup.

Preheat oven to 400. Grease muffin tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Yields 12 muffins.

Comment with fun filling you have success with! :)
