Ingredients
- 120 grams Wholemeal flour
- 120 grams Yellow cornmeal
- 50 grams Dark brown sugar
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 2 grams Baking soda
- 3 grams Salt
- 2 grams Ground cinnamon
- 1 gram Chili powder
- 75 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Egg
- 240 milliliters Buttermilk
- 30 grams Honey
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wholemeal flour, cornmeal, dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and chili powder until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to form a smooth, cohesive mixture.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 let them 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 muffins pair wonderfully with a pat of butter or a drizzle of extra honey.
