Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Cooked ham, finely diced
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Green onions, finely sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted unsalted butter until smooth and uniform.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as this can make the muffins tough.
Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
