Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Sugar
- 100 grams Blue cheese, crumbled
- 240 milliliters Milk
- 80 grams Butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the dry ingredients and toss to distribute evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter has a few lumps.
If using, fold in the chopped chives for an extra layer of flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
