Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or butter (or line muffin cups with parchment muffin liners); set aside. Combine the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk mixture, vanilla, lemon zest, melted butter, and oil. Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, being careful not to overmix the batter.
  3. Pour cornbread batter into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 10–15 minutes until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve muffins immediately with softened butter, if desired.

  • To reheat: Cornbread muffins, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the muffins on a baking sheet and cover them loosely with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Heat the muffins in the oven for about 5-10 minutes or until they are warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat individual muffins in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate for about 15-20 seconds per muffin. Remember that microwaving may result in a softer texture than reheating in the oven.
