Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup Cooked ham (diced)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk and melted butter, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
