Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the onion is soft and lightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the caramelized onion and garlic mixture, as well as the chopped parsley if using.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.
