- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in your chosen recipe. Prepare your muffin tins.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Fold in any desired additions like berries or chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for the time indicated in your recipe, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature wet ingredients for better emulsion.
- Measure your flour using the scoop and level method to avoid packing it in.
- Adding a small amount of sour cream or yogurt can boost moisture retention.
- Do not open the oven door during the first two-thirds of the baking time.
