Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 ml Milk
- 75 g Unsalted butter (melted)
- 150 g Cooked ham (diced)
- 100 g Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 100 g Canned pineapple chunks (drained and chopped)
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the diced ham, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped pineapple chunks. If desired, add the chopped parsley for extra flavor.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to 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 are best enjoyed within 2-3 days but can be stored in an airtight container or frozen for later.
