Preheat oven to 400ยบF (200ยบC). Grease muffin pans or line with paper liners.

Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients all at once.

Mix until moistened: Gently stir the ingredients together just until moistened. Do not overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
