Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups White cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Green onions (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir together gently until just combined. Take care not to overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the shredded white cheddar cheese and chopped green onions (if using) until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with soups, salads, or simply on their own as a snack!
