Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free flour blend
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 80 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 200 milliliters Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 units Large eggs
- 150 grams Cooked ham (diced)
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the muffins.
Step 5
Fold in the diced ham, grated cheddar cheese, and chives (if using). Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
