Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 150 grams Grated cheddar cheese
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 120 grams Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives (if using) to evenly distribute them throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these delicious gluten-free cheese muffins with your favorite soup, salad, or as a standalone snack!
