Golden, fluffy, and delightfully moist, these **Delicious Corn Muffins** are the perfect blend of buttery richness and subtle sweetness, thanks to the optional touch of honey. Made with a simple mix of pantry staples like cornmeal, all-purpose flour, and a hint of sugar, these muffins are ready in just 25 minutes, making them an easy go-to for weeknight dinners, holiday feasts, or casual brunches. The recipe strikes a balance between savory and sweet, making these muffins versatile enough to serve alongside hearty chili, barbecue, or even as a stand-alone snack. With minimal prep and a foolproof baking process, these corn muffins deliver bakery-quality results in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly 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 separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
