Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Whole kernel corn (drained if canned or thawed if frozen)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for additional sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly to combine all dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the whole kernel corn and softened cream cheese. Distribute the cream cheese throughout the batter so there are small, creamy pockets in the muffins.

Step 6

If using honey, stir it gently into the batter for added sweetness.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 10

Enjoy the muffins as-is, or pair them with butter, honey, or your favorite jam for an extra treat!
