Deliciously sweet and moist cornbread muffins infused with honey, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the muffin tin)
- Extra honey for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable oil to ensure easy removal of muffins.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, ensuring not to overmix for fluffy muffins.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle with extra honey if desired before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- Serve warm with a pat of butter and an additional drizzle of honey for enhanced sweetness.
- To make the muffins more moist, you can add a bit of sour cream or yogurt to the wet mixture.
- These muffins store well in an airtight container for up to two days, or you can freeze them for up to a month. Warm them slightly before serving.
