I know many dishes can be made in advance, and I'd love to put this batter together the day before, keep it in the fridge overnight and then just scoop it out and bake it the next morning. Is it alright to do this, or will the batter just get gross and sticky? (Or worse, since it has egg in it, will it be unsafe to do this?)

If you're really in a pinch for time (on the day you have to bake), prepare the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another (except for the eggs). On the day you plan to make it, add the eggs to the wet mixture and then mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Once muffin batter is mixed, it must be put in the oven within an hour. If you don't do this, or if you over mix the batter, the muffins will not rise and will be extremely dense.

I like to prepare dishes Saturday night for Sunday morning breakfast. You should be fine as long as you keep it refrigerated the night before. I would recommend letting the batter warm to just about room temperature or so before you put it in the oven though. In my experience, the batter doesn't rise very well if you put it in the oven cold and you wind up with very dense, not quite done muffins.

Ive never made this, so I dont know if it will get gross and sticky. I have done this with many other batters though and not had a problem.
As far as the egg is concerned, as long as you keep it in your firdge, and your fridge is within the correct temp, it will be fine.
I would definatly cover the container though, so icky smells or other foods or whatever dont waft into and make it taste weird

You sure can make it ahead. Just make sure it's covered airtight and blend well again before using. And refrigerate as soon as it's made.
We get all our muffin mixes in premade for the restaurant and they're made ahead. They even freeze great and can be used later.

Yes, it's fine. Just refrigerate, covering tightly w/ lid or plastic cling wrap.
