Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)

1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)

2 large eggs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme.

      Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

        In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix well until smooth.

          Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter may be lumpy but that’s okay!

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

              Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

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

                  Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color before serving.
