• 2 large eggs
• 240ml milk (plant-based milk can be used as an alternative)
• 60ml vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

2. Adding the Wet Ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

3. Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients:
