How do you make your muffins rise more?

Why are my blueberry muffins flat?
Some of the usual reasons for muffins to come out flat are: you forgot the baking powder (but then they are a complete failure, I guess you would have noticed if that had happened) you let the prepared batter sit for too long before putting it into the oven, and the baking powder spent itself before the baking began.

How can I make my muffins light and fluffy?
Muffins use baking powder or baking soda, or both, to generate the “rise” that makes them light and fluffy. Use too little and they won’t rise enough, use too much and they will rise quickly and then collapse.
