Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk until combined.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the cooled mushroom mixture and Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
