Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup blue cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blue cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with butter or honey, or enjoy at room temperature as a delicious snack or side!
