Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 tablespoon Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped)
• 0.75 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 tablespoon Green onion (finely chopped)
• 0 Cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing the muffin tin)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped chipotle peppers, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onion. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each cavity of the prepared muffin tin about 3/4 full with batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair perfectly with soups, salads, or as standalone snacks!
