Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with oil or butter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then whisk in the melted butter, milk, and egg until well combined.
Step 4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in the sliced green onions and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the tops are lightly 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 or serve warm.
