Fluffy Cheese Muffins Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice)
- ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1½ cups (150g) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- Optional: ¼ tsp garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and any optional spices. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add buttermilk and oil, and mix until well combined. - Make the Batter:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix. Gently fold in the shredded cheese. - Fill Muffin Tray:
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. - Bake:
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Cool & Serve:
Let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best flavor.
