Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well-combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold them together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chives, and black pepper until evenly distributed.
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 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed on the day they are baked but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
