Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter until combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold the sautéed onions and optional chives into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These onion muffins pair wonderfully with soups, stews, or a pat of butter.
