Description

These Cheddar Chive Muffins are the ultimate savory breakfast or snack. Made with mashed potato flakes for an incredibly soft, pillowy crumb, they are packed with sharp cheddar cheese and fresh snipped chives. The combination of warm spices, tender herbs, and melted cheese creates a comforting, homemade flavor that pairs perfectly with coffee or soup. Quick to mix and easy to bake, these muffins are a crowd-pleaser for brunches, potlucks, or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Lightly grease 12 muffin cups with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the mashed potato flakes. Let the mixture stand for 2 minutes to thicken.
  4. Whip the potato mixture with a fork until it is smooth and creamy. Allow it to cool slightly so it doesn't cook the egg.
  5. Beat the egg and vegetable oil into the cooled potato mixture until well combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, dried parsley flakes, and snipped chives.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently just until the flour is moistened; do not overmix, as the batter will be thick.
  8. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-fourths full.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
