  5. Fold in any optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
