Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with oil or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then whisk in the melted butter, milk, and egg until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be lumpy.
Fold in the sliced green onions and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the tops are lightly 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 or serve warm.
