    • Mini Muffins: For bite-size muffins, use a mini muffin pan and start checking for doneness after about 9 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, vegetable oil, and milk; whisk to blend thoroughly.
    1 large egg | 1/3 cup vegetable oil | 3/4 cup milk
  • In a separate 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.
    1 cup all purpose flour | 1 1/2 tsp baking powder | 3/4 tsp salt | 1 1/2 tsp onion powder | 1 cup rolled oats | 3 tbsp sugar
  • Gently fold the chopped Vidalia onion, shredded cheese, and chives (if using) into the batter.
    2/3 cup finely chopped Vidalia onion | 3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese | 1 to 2 tbsp chopped chives (optional)
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each well about two-thirds full. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
