Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Fresh sweet corn kernels
- 0.25 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Green bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still have a few lumps.
Gently fold in the sweet corn kernels, diced red and green bell peppers, and cheddar cheese (if using). Ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm as a snack or side dish. Enjoy!
