Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk and melted butter until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden 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 about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Cornbread and Cheese Muffins as a delicious snack or side dish!
