Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups cornmeal
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the batter together using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds to three-quarters full.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Allow the muffins 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, and enjoy your Plantation Muffins with a drizzle of honey or some butter on the side!
