Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and sugar. Stir the dry ingredients until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, low-fat milk, eggs, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until 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.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
