Ingredients
Scale
- For the Muffins:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Flamin’ Hot seasoning
- For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup crushed pretzels
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Flamin’ Hot seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the milk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and Flamin’ Hot seasoning.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed pretzels with melted butter and additional Flamin’ Hot seasoning, then sprinkle this mixture on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
