🧁 Savory Pea Muffins

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat & prep:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Mix dry ingredients:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine.

3. Combine wet ingredients:

• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and olive oil together until smooth.

4. Fold in peas & cheese:

• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t overmix).

• Gently fold in the peas, cheese, and any extra herbs or green onions you’re using.

5. Scoop & bake:

• Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups (about ¾ full for each).

• Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

6. Cool & serve:

• Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

🍽️ Serve ideas:

• Serve with a side of sour cream or herb cream cheese for extra creaminess.

• You can even drizzle a bit of honey or a balsamic glaze for a sweet-savory combo.

🌱 Variations:

• Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes for a subtle kick.

• Cheese swap: Go for mozzarella for a melty center or feta for a tangy twist.

• Vegan option: Use non-dairy milk and a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) to make it vegan-friendly.
