Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If baking immediately, line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If desired, fold in optional mix-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for added flavor and texture.
If baking immediately, fill the prepared muffin tin cups about 3/4 full with batter. If storing, transfer the batter into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy fresh baked Ever Ready Muffins anytime!
