Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, peanut butter, melted butter, egg, and honey until smooth and fully incorporated.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
Serve plain, with a dollop of additional peanut butter, or a drizzle of honey on top for extra sweetness.
