Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup diced ham
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups chopped green onions

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

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Add the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions to the batter. Fold them in until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter 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 one comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
