2) Stir the muffin batter until just combined.

– Mix the muffins with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. There is less chance of over-mixing with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon than with an electric mixer. Over-mixing will make your muffins tough and dense instead of soft and tender.
