This is my standard muffin recipe - I've made I don't know how many different variations and all have worked out brilliantly. Oh and sorry about the weights in grams but I don't have time to translate them to oz atm - easily done if you do a google search though.

280g flour (you can use half plain and half wholemeal, oatmeal, bran or cornmeal)
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda if you are using yoghurt as the liquid
1/8 tsp salt
120g sugar (castor sugar, brown sugar whatever you like)
2 large eggs
250ml milk (or buttermilk, yoghurt, sour cream, double cream, coconut milk, fruit juice or fruit puree depending on what oyu are making)
6 dsp oil (sunflower or rapeseed) or 90g melted butter

Flavouring of choice. You can add chopped or grated fruit, dried fruit, spices, mini marshmallows, chopped replace 50g flour with cocoa, or savoury ingredients like grated or finely chopped/crumbled cheese, sundried tomatoes, ham, sauted onion, cooked chopped drained spinach. I would usually use about 100-200g of whatever I am using.

Preheat oven to 200oC
Grease muffin tin, or line with paper or silicone cases.
Sieve the flour, baking powder, baking soda if using and salt into a bowl.
Mix in the sugar and flavouring ingredients.
Whisk the egg, liquid ingredient and oil/butter together.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, only sit enough to ensure it is mixed through. DO NOT over mix.
Spoon into muffin cases (about 2/3 full I find is best).
Bake for about 20 mins till done.

Here are a few oatmeal variations:
Oatmeal cranberry: use half flour half oatmeal, light brown sugar, 90g dried cranberries and buttermilk as the liquid.
Oatmeal apple: use half flour half oatmeal, light brown sugar, add 1 tsp mixed spice, 200g apple finely chopped, half milk half apple juice as the liquid
Oatmeal sunflower seed: use half flour half oatemal, light brown sugar, 100g sultanas and 100g sunflower seeds
Oatmeal plum: use half flour half loatmeal, light brown sugar, 150g chopped dried plums
