Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 12 cup muffin tray and set aside.

In a jug, combine the egg, milk and oil.
Add the additional ingredients into the bowl and fold in the wet ingredients using a spatula until all ingredients are just wet.

Take care not to overwork the batter. You want all the ingredients just wet. If you mix it too much your muffins will become very heavy.
