Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) 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 chopped rosemary, olives, and feta cheese until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and ground black pepper.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly into 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.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them 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 delicious on their own or paired with a light salad or soup.
