How to make Jalapeño Cheddar Muffins

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line the muffin pan with muffin liners.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside the flour mixture.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and creamy.

  2. Add plain yogurt and mix until combined, followed by eggs.

Combine Ingredients

  1. Add the sifted flour mixture and mix gently to incorporate without any flour streaks remaining.

  2. Fold in diced jalapeño peppers, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and queso fresco until well combined. The dough will be sticky.

Bake

  2. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until golden.

Serve

  1. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan and serve warm with butter or honey.

Tips & Tricks
