Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.If using, fold in any optional additions like nuts or chocolate chips at this stage.Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.Once baked, remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. - Prep Time: 15 minutes
