Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the following:
1 1/2 C. Flour
1/2 C. Sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
In a separate bowl, or liquid measuring cup mix well:
1/4 C. oil
1 egg
1/2 C. milk
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Mix just until moistened, DO NOT OVER STIR. Add 1 Cup berries of choice. Blueberries, blackberries or raspberries are especially good. Stir them into the mixture. Spoon into prepared muffin cups or greased muffin pan, about 2/3 full. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden on tops.
For Apple variations:
I like to add apple for moisture and to make them go a little further. Pick a sweet apple, Golden delicious or Jonnygold apples are my favorites, and chop or grate one apple and add to the dry ingredients as well as 1/2 tsp. cinnamon (opt.) and proceed as normal. This muffin recipe also makes wonderful apple muffins (no berries) if you add 1 Cup of chopped or grated apples in place of the berries, approx. equivalent to 2 apples. You can also substitute brown sugar for white and can add a crumble topping of brown sugar, cinnamon, oats and butter.

Those sound great! Definitely more complicated then the box muffins! ☺
These muffins are actually SO easy to make, once you've done it once. The only "trick" is mixing the dry and wet separately and then combining and not over stirring. I'm telling you, they are much easier than they sound to make. Try them and I guarantee you will like them (and you'll never go boxed again!)
I can attest to the yumminess and easiness of these muffins! So easy and so yummy!
