Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line muffin tins with paper liners. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Add dry ingredients: corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Divide batter between 12 muffin tin cups, filling ¾ of the way full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
  7. Allow muffins to cool for 1-2 minutes before transferring from the pan to a cooling rack.
  8. Serve warm with butter.

Notes

  • Vegetable oil: Any neutral oil will work in this recipe. 
  • Whole milk:  The fat in the whole milk helps to make the muffins moist. Another type of milk, like skim or 1%, can be used, but the muffins won't be as moist or as tender. 
  • Salted butter: If you prefer to use unsalted butter, increase the salt to 3/4 teaspoon. 
  • Yellow cornmeal: Feel free to use white cornmeal if you prefer. 
  • Sugar: The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to your tastes. I usually use 1/3 cup, and that amount gives me a lightly sweet muffin. 
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
