Ready in just 25 minutes from start to finish, these muffins are a versatile companion to hearty chili, savory barbecue, or even a dollop of butter and extra honey for breakfast.

Whether you’re planning a cozy family dinner or a summer picnic, these easy-to-make corn bread muffins are the ultimate crowd-pleaser, boasting simple ingredients and big flavor. Bake up a batch today for a comforting classic that pairs perfectly with any meal!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy these muffins as a side dish or with a dollop of butter or honey for added sweetness!
