Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.75 cups canned corn kernels (drained)
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if the batter looks slightly lumpy.
Fold in the canned corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake the muffins 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 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 your Easy Cheesy Corny Muffins as a side dish, snack, or with a dab of butter!
