How to make muffins step-by-step:
- Preheat your oven and line or grease your muffin tin.
- Mix dry ingredients in one bowl.
- Mix wet ingredients in another bowl.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients gently.
- Fold in fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.
- Fill muffin cups ¾ full.
- Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving.

Overmixing the batter is one of the most common issues. It leads to dense, tough muffins with tunnels or peaks instead of a tender, fluffy texture.
Baking powder (and sometimes baking soda) helps muffins rise and become fluffy.
