Yum! I used 2 1/2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder for the self raising flour. I couldn't find lemon thyme, so I used regular fresh thyme. I might just use more thyme and parmesan next time. This made 12 regular muffins for me. Also, I didn't let them brown because I didn't want them to dry out. They were cooked through and moist at 40 minutes. Made for Went to the Market tag. Thanks Annacia! :)

Made for Photo Tag Fall 07 Delicious and simple to prepare...I especially appreciated the low fat method of softening the onions in the microwave.
