Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked chili (homemade or canned, drained)

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 large egg

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

      Add Cheese and Chili: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked chili until they're well combined. Make sure the chili is not too wet to prevent soggy muffins.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and egg until fully blended.

          Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Gently stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be lumpy but well-moistened.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Garnish: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Garnish with chopped green onions.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Cheesy Chili Biscuit Muffins warm or at room temperature. These make a perfect lunch or snack, especially with a side of fresh salsa or guacamole!
