Ham & Cheese Muffins
Ham & cheese muffins with a pepper jack kick. An easy recipe to make ahead for weekday breakfasts. Also perfect for weekend brunch or give to a new mom who needs some easy comfort food.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cup low fat buttermilk
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- ¼ cup grapeseed oil
- 2 tablespoon male syrup
- 2 oz 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 4 oz 1 cup diced deli ham
- ¼ cup minced green onion approximately 2 stalks
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F. Prepare your muffin pans by wiping 18 muffin cups lightly with oil.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, oil, and syrup. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir just enough to combine.
- Rest the batter for 10 minutes. Then fold in the cheese, ham, and onions.
- Divide batter evenly into 18 muffin cups. Bake 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Notes
Resting the batter gives the bran in the whole wheat flour time to hydrate. This results in a moister muffin.
To suit a milder taste preference: You may use cheddar cheese in place of the pepper jack. You may omit the onions.
