Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 tbsp sugar
16g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
1 cup scallions
50g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup cream cheese
120g
6 oz salmon
170g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper muffin liners.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and sugar.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and olive oil until well combined.
4. Mix Together:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Add Flavors:
Gently fold in the chopped parsley, scallions, and minced garlic.
6. Incorporate Cream Cheese and Salmon:
Add the softened cream cheese to the batter, and stir gently to distribute it without fully incorporating. This will create pockets of creaminess. Fold in the flaked salmon evenly.
7. Fill Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
8. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
9. Cool:
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your herb, cream cheese, and salmon muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a great breakfast, brunch, or snack option!

Tips:

- Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother batter.

- Chop the scallions and parsley finely to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the muffins.

- You can substitute fresh salmon with smoked salmon for a different flavor profile.

- Do not overmix the batter as this can result in dense muffins. Mix until just combined.

- Use a non-stick muffin tray or line the tray with muffin liners to prevent sticking.

- Allow the muffins to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps in maintaining their shape.

Herb, cream cheese, and salmon muffins are a versatile and delicious option for any occasion. With their perfect balance of savory flavors and creamy texture, these muffins will undoubtedly become a favorite. Follow the tips provided to ensure you achieve the best results every time you bake them. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for a delightful and satisfying experience.
