Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped nuts into the batter until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake 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 muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy your delicious corn muffins with cheese and nuts as a snack or alongside your favorite meal!
