Recipe for Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.

Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.

Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (do not overmix—a few lumps are fine).

Add mix-ins: Gently fold in any optional ingredients like fruit or chocolate.

Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (about ¾ full).

Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
