Ingredients

Dry Ingredients (write on bag)

1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients (write on bag)

½ cup melted butter (i.e. 1 stick)
½ cup sour cream (or plain greek yogurt)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼-1 teaspoon extract and/or mix-ins of choice (1 cup)

Flavor Variations (write wet ingredients on the bag to add later, add dry ingredients directly to the bag)

Blueberry: ¼ teaspoon almond extract + 1 cup frozen wild blueberries + Turbinado sugar, optional for topping
Chocolate Chip: ¼ teaspoon almond extract + 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Lemon Poppyseed: 1 teaspoon lemon extract + zest of 1 lemon + 1 tablespoons poppyseeds

Instructions

Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour to a quart-sized ziploc bag. Add any additional dry mix-ins based on the flavor you're preparing (chocolate chips, poppyseed, etc).
On the bag, write the following (or print off my free tags!):
"Add: 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ½ cup melted butter (i.e. 1 stick), ½ cup sour cream (or plain greek yogurt), and other desired flavorings and/or mix-ins. Divide batter into a lined 12-cavity cupcake pan. Bake at 350ºF for 22-24 minutes, or until tops are very lightly brown."
Store in pantry for 1-2 months. Each bag makes 1 dozen muffins.

Notes

Cupcake Pan: I use the Wilton recipe right cupcake pan. As with all my baking, I get the best results with light-colored aluminum pans.
Cupcake Liners: I use & recommend using white cupcake liners for easy release and a neutral appearance.
