- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

- If using, gently fold in the peanut butter chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips as mix-ins for extra texture and flavor.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
