Basic Muffin Recipe
makes: 12

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 cup fresh or frozen berries of your choice

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. In a measuring cup, mix together the milk, oil and egg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients in the bowl, folding gently just until everything is incorporated. Stir in the wheat germ and fruit.

Oil a 12 cup muffin tin (or line with paper liners if you prefer) and divide the batter evenly among the cups. Bake about 25 minutes, until the tops are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Turn the muffins out of the tin and cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
