Savory Herb Muffins are a comforting, buttery treat infused with aromatic herbs like thyme, oregano, and garlic. Perfect as a side dish or snack, they add a flavorful touch to any meal.

Ingredients

1 large egg

1 cup whole milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with baking spray.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, whole milk, vegetable oil, and sugar until well combined.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, thyme, oregano, garlic powder (if using), and salt.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Scoop and bake: Scoop the batter into the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best texture!

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or Parmesan) to the batter.

Experiment with other herbs such as rosemary, basil, or parsley for a unique twist.

If you’d like extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the batter.

These muffins freeze well. Let them cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.

If you prefer a fluffier texture, substitute 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour with cornstarch or add more baking powder.
