There is something so comforting about the smell of fresh cornbread baking in the oven. These muffins are a staple in my kitchen because they turn out soft every single time and pair perfectly with a warm bowl of chili or just a simple pat of butter.

I love how quickly these come together on a busy weeknight. If you like your muffins with a little extra moisture, make sure not to overmix the batter once you add the flour, as a light hand is the secret to that perfect tender crumb.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate small bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin cups.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

Serve these warm with extra honey butter for a real treat. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, they freeze beautifully in a freezer bag for a month.
