Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 0.25 cups fresh basil, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, parsley, mozzarella, and parmesan until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins 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. These muffins pair well with soup, salad, or a bit of herb butter on the side.
