Whether you pair them with a hearty soup or serve them as a standalone appetizer, these muffins are a versatile and irresistible option to impress your guests or satisfy your cravings.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and olive oil until well combined.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the mushrooms with the minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the well and gently stir until just combined.
Fold the sautéed mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil into the batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm, or store in an airtight container for up to three days.
