So I found a Sara Moulton recipe for basic muffins, and ideas for things to mix in. The first time I made these I added crushed pineapple and shredded coconut. They were pretty good. They seemed moister than muffins I've had in the past--from the box and store and whatnot--so perhaps real muffins just have a different texture... The second time I made these I tried a banana and chocolate chips, but I forgot the baking soda and baking powder so I ended up having to throw them away. Pretty disgusting. Finally, I smashed up some rasperries and chocolate chips, and that combo was good. I brought extras to work to share, and everyone I gave a piece to liked them a lot. Then again, while at work all people usually eat is frozen food or crap from the vending machine so the standards were probably lower given the environment.
