Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 jalapenos, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted and cooled butter, and egg until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped jalapenos, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
