Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft, fluffy muffins.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 8

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