Ingredients
- 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- ¾ cup tiny frozen peas
- ¾ cup crumbled bacon or diced ham
- ½ cup Feta cheese
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil
- ½ cup salted toasted pumpkin seeds
- 2 teaspoons melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350˚F . Line a 12 cup muffin pan with cupcake papers.
- 2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine. Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- 3. Combine the eggs and milk in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the melted butter and stir to combine.
- 4. Pour the milk mixture into the center of the dry ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Fold in the peas, ham (or bacon), feta and basil.
- 5. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, diving the batter evenly, filling until about ⅔ full. Sprinkle each muffin with 1 generous tablespoon of pumpkin seeds. Press gently with the back of your spoon to adhere the seeds to the batter. Bake for 25-30 mins or until golden and spring slightly to the touch. Remove from oven and brush the tops of each muffin lightly with the 2 teaspoons of melted butter. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
Serve these muffins with plain butter or honey butter. For honey butter, take a stick of softened butter and add 1-2 tablespoons honey. Mix well and transfer to a pretty serving dish. A wonderful combination!
