Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, ground paprika, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and honey until fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
If using chopped fresh cilantro, gently fold it into the batter until evenly distributed.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 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 allow them to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with butter or as a savory side to your favorite meals. Enjoy!
