Method

  1. Prep Pan and Oven

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

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
    • Add the mix-ins, then toss to coat everything evenly in flour.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
    • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined.
    • Do not over-mix.
  3. Bake

    • Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups (about ¾ full each).
    • Bake for 22–25 minutes.
    • They’re done when tops spring back lightly when pressed.
    • A toothpick inserted in the centre should come out clean.
    • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer muffins to a rack to cool completely.

NOTES

  • Batter will be thicker and a bit grainy with fresh-milled and whole-grain flours.
  • Mix just until no dry streaks remain. Over-mixing makes muffins tough.
  • Pull as soon as a toothpick comes out clean to avoid dryness.
  • Variation: If adding pineapple, reduce juice slightly.

SERVING

Enjoy warm or at room temperature for breakfast, brunch, or snacks.
