Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h22m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups baking mix (Bisquick or Pioneer Baking Mix)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped cooked broccoli
1 cup chopped cooked chicken

Steps:

  • Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in the center of mixture.
  • Combine egg, buttermilk, and oil; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
  • Stir in broccoli and chicken.
  • Spoon into greased muffin pan, filling to top.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 20-22 minutes.
  • Remove from pan immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Shred the broccoli finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the muffins and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. Cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella are all good choices. You can also use a blend of cheeses.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time. This will help them rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Broccoli muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty snack, give broccoli muffins a try!
