Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190 °C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined. Add 2/4 teaspoon salt.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1 large egg until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Fold in 1 cup of chopped mixed fresh herbs, 1/2 cup grated cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes if using.

  6. 6

    Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
