Ingredients

• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

Steam or microwave the broccoli florets until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Finely chop the cooked broccoli and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins are light and fluffy.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a snack, appetizer, or alongside soup or salad.
