Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold the sautéed onions and optional chives into the batter until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 at room temperature. These onion muffins pair wonderfully with soups, stews, or a pat of butter.
