Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups cornmeal
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.75 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the batter together using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds to three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins 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, and enjoy your Plantation Muffins with a drizzle of honey or some butter on the side!
