How to Make Any Muffins Recipe

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in your choice of mix-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.).
  6. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
