Cornbread Muffins


  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3/4 cup milk (preferably whole but low-fat works too)
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, break up the eggs with a whisk. Whisk in the honey and then the milk. Add the milk mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just blended. Do not over mix; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup almost full. 
  3. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm.
  4. Note: Cornbread muffins taste best when served right out of the oven. To reheat leftovers, wrap muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350-degree oven until hot. Alternatively, heat muffins in the microwave at 50 percent power for 30-45 seconds, or until just hot; do not overheat or muffins will get tough.
  5. These muffins are easy to make and delicious! Eat them right when they are warm to get the best results.
