Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2/3 cup diced or finely chopped Vidalia onion, about 1/2 large onion
  • 3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped chives, optional
  • Melted butter, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with cupcake papers.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, vegetable oil, and milk; whisk to blend thoroughly. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, onion powder, oats, and sugar; stir to blend. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg and milk mixture just until blended.
  4. Gently fold the chopped Vidalia onion, shredded cheese, and chives (if using) into the batter.
  5. Spoon the Vidalia onion batter into the muffin tin, filling each one about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto racks. If desired, drizzle with melted butter and serve warm or at room temperature.
