Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped)
- 0.75 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Green onion (finely chopped)
- Cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chopped chipotle peppers, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onion. Mix until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each cavity of the prepared muffin tin about 3/4 full with batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair perfectly with soups, salads, or as standalone snacks!
