Ingredients

For the Muffins:

To start, you’ll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, which forms the base of the muffin batter, providing a soft and fluffy texture. You’ll also need 1 tablespoon of baking powder to help the muffins rise beautifully in the oven, giving them a light, airy consistency. A 1/2 teaspoon of salt is essential for balancing the flavors, ensuring the muffins aren’t too bland.

For the savory and aromatic flavor, you’ll use 1/4 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup olive oil, which not only add richness and moisture to the muffins but also enhance the herb flavors. 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped bring the unmistakable taste of garlic, adding depth and warmth to each bite. You’ll also use 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, chopped, and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, chopped, which contribute earthy, fragrant notes reminiscent of focaccia bread.

Additionally, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the herbs and garlic. Finally, 1 cup of milk and 1 egg are essential wet ingredients, helping bind everything together and creating a tender, fluffy muffin.

Directions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin. You can also line the muffin cups with paper liners for easy removal and cleanup.
