Ingredients

• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until slightly tender, then chop them into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and combine them with the milk and melted butter.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onion until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
