How to Make Beer Cheese Muffins

  2. Line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ⅔ cup beer (any kind you enjoy) and 1 large egg.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 17-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  8. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
