Muffins ready for the oven in 2 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, yogurt, oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing as this can make the muffins dense.

Fold in Mix-ins (Optional): Gently stir in your choice of chocolate chips, berries, or nuts.

Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Bake: Place the muffins in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Cool and Enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Success

Measure Accurately: Properly measure flour by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife.

Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a sprinkle of lemon zest for a flavor boost.

Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
