Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup molasses
• 1 large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. These colonial muffins pair beautifully with butter, honey, or jam for a simple but satisfying treat.
