Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the broccoli and cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Add cooked bacon bits or diced ham for extra flavor and protein.
