Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried rosemary, crushed
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 units Eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley to distribute it evenly throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until all the flour is incorporated, and the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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