Ingredients
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour1 T baking powder1/2 tsp. baking soda1/4 tsp. black pepper1/4 tsp. salt1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper2 large eggs1 1/3 cups lowfat buttermilk**3 T canola oil1 cup thinly sliced scallion, green part only1 cup diced extra lean ham1 cup grated 50% light sharp cheddar cheese** If you don't have buttermilk use 1 1/3 cups skim milk with 2 tsp. white vinegar stirred in. Let sit for a minute to curdle.
Directions
Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper liners. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pepper, salt and cayenne pepper. Stir in the ham and grated cheese.

In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and canola oil.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until moistened. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin - the cups will be very very full!

Bake until the tops of the muffins are golden, about 25 minutes. Let muffins cool in the pan for 15 minutes then remove from pan to cool completely.

Wrap individually in plastic wrap to store in fridge for 3 days or put in freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat by wrapping in a paper towel and microwaving for 15-30 seconds.

    I think these have potential, but I will try to make these again with a couple of tweaks. My ham was not flavorful enough (maybe use bacon next time) and my cheese was pre-shredded extra fine, which just seemed to "dissolve" in the batter. I'm willing to give it another shot! - 8/10/10
