Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows your baked goods to cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Baking

  1. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and fluffy.

  2. 5

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If you're using them, fold in the chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits gently until evenly distributed.

  3. 6

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  4. 7

    Pour Batter

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

  5. 8

    Bake

    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
