Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

  2. In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
Baking
  1. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

Cooling
  1. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  2. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For healthier options, substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour and add yogurt for extra moisture. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins light. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
