Basic Muffin Recipe

  1. Preheat Oven
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla until smooth.

  4. Combine Gently
    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
    ⚠️ Do not overmix — a few small lumps are perfectly fine!

  5. Add Flavor Boosters
    Fold in chocolate chips, blueberries, banana, or nuts if using.

  6. Fill Muffin Cups
    Spoon batter into the liners, filling each about ¾ full.

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

  8. Cool & Enjoy
    Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
