1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (you can use any cheese you prefer)
1 large egg
½ cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)

For the Crumb Topping:

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven
to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
Make the Muffin Batter:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions (if using).
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Prepare the Crumb Topping:
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, melted butter, and chopped parsley. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.
Assemble the Muffins:
Divide the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each muffin.
Bake:
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool & Serve:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are great on their own or paired with scrambled eggs or a side of fruit!
