Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.5 cups sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 0.75 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the sun-dried tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, oregano, and ground black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 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

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 9

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat briefly before serving for the best flavor.
