Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup 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, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Enjoy the muffins on their own or pair them with a side salad or soup for a heartier meal.
