Preheat oven to 180C / 350F.

Position your oven rack in the center of the oven and grease a standard 12 cup muffin pan. This recipe yields 12 muffins.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, Italian seasoning and salt.

Lightly beat the egg and whisk into the flour mixture along with the buttermilk and vegetable oil until combined.

Fold in the cheddar cheese (leaving a handful left to top the muffins with) until evenly distributed.

Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Sprinkle each muffin with a little bit of the remaining cheese.

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. Serve warm.

To Reheat Muffins: Thaw and reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
