Make These Easy Cheddar Cheese Muffins

I always start by gathering all of the ingredients needed in a recipe and weighing and measuring everything before I start to cook or bake. This part is really important and key in keeping everything organized.

1. To make these easy cheddar cheese muffins you start by preheating the oven to 180C / 350F.
2. Position your oven rack in the center of the oven and grease a standard 12 cup muffin pan.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, Italian seasoning and salt.
4. Lightly beat the egg and whisk into the flour mixture along with the buttermilk and vegetable oil until combined.
5. Fold in the cheddar cheese (leaving a handful left to top the muffins with) until evenly distributed.
6. Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Sprinkle each muffin with a little bit of the remaining cheese.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick/cake tester inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Let cool down for 5 minutes in the muffin pan before removing to a wire rack or serving plate.

Store These Easy Cheddar Cheese Muffins

Store any leftovers of these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2-3 months. Thaw and reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.

Notes & Substitutions

Italian Seasoning: You can use different types of seasoning in this recipe if you want. For example: garlic powder, onion powder or dried herbs.

Buttermilk: Instead of buttermilk you can use sour cream or plain yogurt.

Vegetable Oil: You can use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.

Add Ins

These savory cheese muffins are simple and delicious as they are but if you want, you can add any savory add ins of choice. For example: cooked meats (pepperoni, bacon, ham, chicken, turkey, sausage), cooked vegetables (mushrooms, spinach, peppers, onions), other types of cheese (mozzarella, parmesan, feta cheese), olives, sun dried tomatoes, fresh herbs and much more.
