Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and maple syrup until smooth. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and whisk again until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing so your muffins stay tender.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin pan 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 or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
