Heat oven to 400. Grease 12 muffin cups, or 24 mini muffin cups. Combine dry ingredients, including dry additions (like nuts, chocolate chips, etc) and spices. Combine wet ingredients, including wet additions (like banana, berries, pineapple, etc). Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes. To make non-sweet muffins, such as bacon and cheddar, just cut back on the sugar to 1 tablespoon. You can make your own "jiffy" corn muffins by substituting 1/2 cup corn meal for 1/2 cup of the flour, and using 2 tablespoons of sugar. Substitute peanut butter for the oil to give your muffins a peanutty taste. If your additions are very wet (such as crushed pineapple) then use up to 1/2 cup more flour, to equal up to 2 cups total flour.
