Ingredients:

2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
60g
1.25 cups milk (1% fat)
300g
2 eggs
100g
3 slices prosciutto
50g
2 tbsp pine nuts
30g
1 cup basil leaves
7g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Prepare the Pesto:
In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, minced garlic, and olive oil. Process until smooth to make the pesto. Set aside.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and grated parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk. Mix well until fully combined.
5. Combine Mixtures:
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and gently fold the mixtures together until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Add Pesto and Prosciutto:
Gently fold in the prepared pesto and chopped prosciutto until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Fill the Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
8. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
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 prosciutto and pesto muffins warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or accompaniment to a meal.

Tips:

- Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a better texture.

- To make the pesto, blend the basil leaves, garlic cloves, pine nuts, and olive oil until smooth.

- For an extra burst of flavor, lightly toast the pine nuts before adding them to the pesto.

- When mixing the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stir just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can result in dense muffins.

- Line your muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

- For even baking, distribute the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups.

- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your freshly baked Prosciutto and Pesto Muffins, a delightful blend of savory and aromatic flavors. Perfect for any meal of the day, these muffins are sure to impress your family and friends. Serve them warm, paired with a side salad or as a stand-alone snack, and relish the compliments that follow this delicious creation.
