Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the onion is soft and lightly caramelized.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

Step 7

Fold in the caramelized onion and garlic mixture, as well as the chopped parsley if using.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serving warm.
