Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Diced ham
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups Chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, and the egg until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 9

Enjoy these muffins on their own or paired with your favorite spread, such as butter or cream cheese!
