Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Fold the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped nuts into the batter until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Step 9
Enjoy your delicious corn muffins with cheese and nuts as a snack or alongside your favorite meal!
