Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups fresh chives, chopped
• 1 cup non-fat plain yogurt
• 0.5 cups skim milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese and chopped chives, making sure to coat them well with the flour mixture.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the non-fat plain yogurt, skim milk, egg, and melted unsalted butter until well combined.

Step 5

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix; stir just until everything is combined.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each 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 about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
