Ham and Cheese Muffins

When Brad has a "night meeting", I try to do something easy with the kids for dinner, but I'm not one for picking up fast food (as if we had any out our direction, anyway). I try to plan for leftovers, but Pinterest has got me pinning all kinds of "lunch" foods. You know, foods that the kids and I would love that are fast and easy, but that Brad wouldn't consider quite up to "dinner" standards. That's how I came about making these muffins. I wanted to try them for dinner and then have some left over to send in lunches. They were perfect! The kids really liked them.

Ham and Cheese Muffins
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup diced ham
1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, grated (I used sharp cheddar)

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour 12 regular muffin tins. In a large bowl stir together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Whisk together the egg, buttermilk and oil in a small bowl. Stir in the ham and cheese. Using a rubber spatula, stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix. Spoon into each of the prepared muffin tins approximately 3/4 full. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from muffin tin and let cool.
