For the muffin batter
- Mix the oil and milk in a medium mixing bowl using a whisk until they are emulsified.

Notes
- Watch my video tutorial to see how I make the muffins in action.ย
- If you do not have tulip muffin liners, you can also use standard cupcake liners instead.ย Be careful, fill each cupcake liners almost 3/4 full to avoid the batter split out.ย ย
- Keep the muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days on the countertop.
- Reheat them in the oven for 5 – 10 minutes and serve them warm.
