Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Cooked ham, finely diced
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Green onions, finely sliced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted unsalted butter until smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as this can make the muffins tough.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
