  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips if using.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

  8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
