Savory Prosciutto Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup prosciutto, minced (2 ounces)
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 cup fat-free buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F Coat 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with cooking spray.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in prosciutto and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Whisk flour, rosemary, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper in a large bowl until combined. Whisk buttermilk, eggs and oil in a medium bowl until blended.
Fold the onion mixture and buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula until evenly moistened. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups.
Bake the muffins until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
