Ingredients
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 cup diced ham
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
In a small bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and coconut oil together until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. Carefully fold in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh chives.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden brown on top.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then gently twist each muffin to loosen it from the cup and transfer to a serving plate or wire rack.
