Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cups Cooked shrimp, chopped
- 0.5 cups Crab meat, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked shrimp, crab meat, and green onions. Ensure the seafood and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy your cheesy seafood muffies as a savory snack or pair them with a salad or soup for a complete meal.
