Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons Poppy seeds
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Egg
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable oil
  • 4 ounces Shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt.
  3. 3
    In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. 4
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until the flour is moistened; do not overmix.
  5. 5
    Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. 6
    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. 7
    Bake for 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. 8
    Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note

For best results, use freshly grated cheddar cheese rather than pre-shredded, as it melts more smoothly into the batter.

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave before serving.

Feel free to experiment with other cheeses like gouda or sharp white cheddar for a different flavor profile.
