Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h22m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups baking mix (Bisquick or Pioneer Baking Mix)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped cooked broccoli
1 cup chopped cooked chicken

Steps:

  • Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in the center of mixture.

  • Stir in broccoli and chicken.
  • Spoon into greased muffin pan, filling to top.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 20-22 minutes.
  • Remove from pan immediately.

Tips for Making Perfect Broccoli Muffins:

  • Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli florets that are deep green and tightly closed. Avoid florets that are yellow or wilted.
  • Chop the broccoli finely. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent large pieces from becoming tough.
  • Use fresh or frozen broccoli. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before adding it to the muffin batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time. This will help them to rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Broccoli muffins are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this nutritious vegetable. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect broccoli muffins every time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these broccoli muffins a try.
