Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Diced ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, and the egg until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy these muffins on their own or paired with your favorite spread, such as butter or cream cheese!
