Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned sweet corn, drained
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined.
Add the sweet corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions (if using), folding the ingredients into the batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are perfect on their own or paired with soups, chili, or a pat of butter.
