Muffin batter is a mixture used to make muffins, a popular baked good. It typically consists of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, and fat, such as butter or oil. The ingredients are combined to create a thick, pourable consistency. Muffin batter can be flavored with various ingredients, including fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips, to enhance the taste.
When preparing muffin batter, it is important not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins. Instead, the ingredients should be mixed until just combined, allowing for a light and fluffy texture once baked. Muffins are often enjoyed as a breakfast item or snack and can be served warm or at room temperature.
