Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

In another bowl, mix vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in fruit, nuts, cinnamon, or chocolate chips if using.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes.

Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
