Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil or spray a 12-hole muffin tin Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, herbal salt substitute, oregano, thyme, and basil in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl combine eggs, egg white, buttermilk, the 2 tablespoons oil, sugar (or honey), and Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Fresh herbs offer superior flavor: Incorporate fresh herbs like chives, parsley, and sage for a vibrant and aromatic flavor profile. If using dried herbs, reduce the quantity by half for a similar intensity.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to dense and tough muffins.
  • Fill muffin cups appropriately: Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full to allow room for expansion during baking. Overfilling can result in muffins spilling over and creating a mess.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are ready. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
