Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a muffin tin with muffin liners or cooking spray.

  • Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, then stir. Then fold in the cheddar cheese.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ⅔ full. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese on top if desired. It will make 10-12 muffins depending on how much you scoop in! Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the muffins are firm to the touch.

Notes

Make a flax or chia egg for this recipe
  • 1 tablespoon chia seed or flax 
  • 3 tablespoons of water
Mix the chia/flax with water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, until it forms a goopy texture (like an egg)! Add it to the batter as instructed.
