Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Black olives (pitted and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and olive oil until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes (about 1/2-inch pieces) and gently fold them into the batter along with the chopped olives and parsley.
Spoon the batter evenly 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.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
