Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 muffin trays
with paper muffin cases. In a large bowl beat the eggs
lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min. Add the
oil and milk and beat until just combined then add the
sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Sift in
the flour and salt (and baking powder if using) then mix
until just smooth. Be careful not to over-mix the batter
as this will make the muffins tough. Stir in the chocolate
chips or dried fruit if using.

Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 20-25
mins, until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted
in the middle comes out clean. If the trays will not fit
on 1 shelf, swap the shelves around after 15 mins of
cooking. Leave the muffins in the tin to cool for a few
mins and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
