Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the milk, honey, oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
If desired, fold in your optional mix-ins, such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
