Notes
If not using muffin liners, spray muffin pan or mini loaf pans with cooking spray.
Mix-ins can be added when wet and dry ingredients are mostly combined, or to finished batter if adding them to only part of the batch.
To make mini muffins instead, bake for 9-10 minutes. Makes 48 if the whole batch is made as minis.
