Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Step 3
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly distributed.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Step 6
If using chives, fold them into the batter for an added layer of flavor.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
