🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the cups lightly with nonstick spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.

3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, and sliced green onions, making sure the ingredients are evenly coated in the flour mixture.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well emulsified.

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
