Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 Large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions until they are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if a few streaks of flour remain.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are great on their own or with a smear of butter!
