Here is my recipe for a easy muffin From Fast and Healhy Oct 96

1 heat oven to 400F> Line muffin cups with paper baking cups. ( I spray mine with cooking spray ). Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup: level off. In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well.

2 In small bowl, combine milk, oil and egg; blend well. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Divide batter evenly amoung muffin cups.

3 Bake at 400F. for 18 to 23 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute, remove from pan. Serve warm. 12 muffins.

(note. I use egg beater or 2 egg whites) ( I never add salt)
