Cheddar Broccoli Muffins with Garlic

Ingredients

  • 2 cups250 gAll-purpose flour
  • 2⅛ tsp10 gBaking powder
  • ½ tsp2 gBaking soda
  • ½ tsp3 gSalt
  • ½ tsp1 gBlack pepper
  • 1 tsp3 gGarlic powder
  • 1⅔ cups florets150 gBroccolifinely chopped
  • 1⅓ cups shredded150 gCheddar cheeseshredded, divided
  • 2 large100 gEggsat room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml)240 gButtermilk, low-fat
  • ¼ cup60 gCanola oil
  • 2 tsp10 gYellow mustard

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Finely chop the broccoli into pea-size bits and shred the cheddar; set aside one quarter of the cheddar for the tops and keep the remaining three quarters for the batter.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
  4. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, canola oil and mustard until smooth.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until just a few dry streaks remain.
  6. Fold in the broccoli and the three quarters of the cheddar reserved for the batter until just combined; a lumpy batter makes tender muffins.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups and sprinkle the remaining quarter of the cheddar over the tops.
  8. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move to a rack and cool at least 10 minutes more before serving warm.

Food safety: Don't taste raw dough or batter: raw flour and raw eggs can carry germs.
