Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Grease the wells of a muffin pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, add 2.5 cups (320 grams) of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup (100 grams) of sugar.

Add 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) of salt to the bowl.

Whisk the dry ingredients together and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine 1.25 cups (300 milliliters) of milk, 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) of vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of vanilla extract.

Whisk the wet ingredients together thoroughly.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.

Add 1 cup (175 grams) of your favorite mix-ins (like chocolate chips, blueberries, or walnuts) to the batter.

Divide the batter evenly between the muffin pan wells.

Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until golden brown, checking with a toothpick inserted into the center to see if it comes out clean.
