Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
Flavorings and Toppings
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- Sea salt for sprinkling on top (Optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these together thoroughly to distribute the leavening agent and salt evenly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and olive oil. This warm liquid will help activate the baking powder and infuse moisture and richness.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary into the mixture and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin lightly with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. Then, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter to allow room for rising.
- Optional Topping: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each muffin to enhance flavor and add a slight crunch.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops develop a golden crust and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cooling: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the tin for a few minutes before serving. This resting time helps the muffins set and makes them easier to remove.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Use fresh rosemary for the best aromatic flavor.
- To make these muffins vegan, ensure the baking powder used does not contain any animal products.
- You can add other herbs such as thyme or oregano for a different flavor profile.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
