Whether you're an experienced baker or a novice in the kitchen, this simple recipe will quickly become a staple in your collection.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and Vegemite until smooth and well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or spoon, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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 tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
