Ingredients

• 150 grams Barley flour
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 60 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 180 milliliters Whole milk
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 60 grams Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chopped rosemary and grated Parmesan to the flour mixture, and stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk, olive oil, and Greek yogurt, whisking until smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving for the best texture.
