Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups fresh chives, chopped
- 1 cup non-fat plain yogurt
- 0.5 cups skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese and chopped chives, making sure to coat them well with the flour mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the non-fat plain yogurt, skim milk, egg, and melted unsalted butter until well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix; stir just until everything is combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each 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 about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
