Ingredients

• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped scallions (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 24 mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
