Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Milo powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cupcake liners or silicone molds

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease silicone molds.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Milo powder, sugar, and baking powder.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4: Make the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Fill the Cupcake Liners

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 8: Serve

Enjoy as is or dust with extra Milo powder for an extra chocolatey finish.

Tips for Success

• Do not overmix the batter to keep cupcakes soft
• Use room-temperature ingredients for better texture
• Fill liners only two-thirds full to prevent overflow
• Sprinkle extra Milo on top after baking for more flavor
