Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy the muffins as is, or pair with butter, jam, or your favorite coffee shop spread!
