c/o Annie Bakes
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk (low fat is fine)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar, for topping
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking
spray (I used a mini-muffin tin). In a large bowl, beat together the
sugar and egg until light in color. In a small bowl, whisk together
flour, baking powder and salt. Pour into egg mixture and stir to
combine. Pour in vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract. Divide
batter evenly into the muffin cups (I used a small ice cream scoop),
filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 12-14 minutes (15-18 minutes if
using large muffin tins). When muffins are done, lightly brush the tops
with the melted butter and dip into a bowl of sugar. Cool on a wire
rack.
