Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 0.75 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 6

Fold in the diced ham, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, and black pepper. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
