Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly distributed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
If using chives, fold them into the batter for an added layer of flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
