How to Make Easy Cheese Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add ½ cup mayonnaise and ¼ cup milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the batter is too thick.
  4. Stir in 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese (a blend of cheddar, Swiss, and parmesan is recommended).
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
