Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Yellow bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until thoroughly mixed.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
