Muffins for anything

My mom used to make these for us as kids, and now my kids love them. They are pretty basic and you can throw just about anything in them. I like to add chocolate chips, or pecans, or both. My kids love them (the non-nuts version), and they freeze pretty good too. I doubled the recipe and got 3 and a half dozen.
