Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 units large eggs
- 0.5 cup fresh or canned corn kernels (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Step 5
If using corn kernels, fold them into the batter gently with a spatula.
Step 6
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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 muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy your Sunny Cornbread Muffins!
