Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
Mix-Ins
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup smoked deli turkey or ham
- ¾ cup corn (optional but delicious) canned, frozen or fresh (cooked) all work
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375℉ and line your muffin tray with muffin liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Whisk together until mixed well. Set bowl aside.
-
In a medium sized bowl, add the butter. Microwave for 20 seconds. Stir and microwave for another 15-20 seconds, until butter is almost fully melted.
-
Add the Greek yogurt, milk and egg to the bowl with the melted butter. Gently stir until everything is well combined. Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients.
-
Using a spatula or large spoon, stir until just combined. Now, add the mix ins - cheddar cheese, turkey and corn. Gently fold into the batter. (Note: I like to save just a bit of the cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top of the muffins.)
-
Fill each muffin cup almost full (about ¾ of the way.) Sprinkle the tops with a little more cheddar cheese and bake at 375℉ for 18-22 minutes. Muffins are done when slightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
-
Let muffins cool in the tray for at least 5 minutes. Then, move to a cooling rack or the counter and let completely cool before storing.
