  • ½  cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

  • Customization: Swap all-purpose flour for whole wheat or gluten-free flour, or reduce sugar for a healthier option.

  • Pro Tip: For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon, lemon zest, or a drizzle of glaze after baking.
