Honey Cinnamon Cornbread Muffins
Description
This recipe mixes coarse yellow cornmeal with flour and baking powder to create a tender crumb balanced by a light rise. Ground cinnamon infuses the batter with gentle warmth that pairs nicely with the natural sweetness of honey. Buttermilk adds moisture and slight tang while melted butter enriches the batter for a soft texture.
The muffins bake at 350°F until golden with a toothpick inserted in the center coming out clean, indicating moist but fully cooked interiors. Using a 1/3-cup scoop and filling muffin cups about two-thirds full helps achieve even baking and proper muffin shape.
These muffins work well for breakfast or snack times, especially alongside savory dishes. Their mild cinnamon flavor complements fall and winter menus but can be enjoyed year-round.
Allowing the muffins to cool briefly before removing them from the pans prevents sticking and maintains muffin shape for serving.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup cornmeal not cornmeal mix, plain yellow
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup buttermilk low fat or full fat
- 1/2 cup butter melted, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Grease your muffin pans, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Then whisk in the eggs, honey, and buttermilk. Mix the melted butter in last and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Use a 1/3 -cup scoop to ladle the batter into the muffin pans, filling only 2/3 full. Bake the cornbread muffins for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Cool muffins for 2-3 minutes before removing from pans to avoid breakage.
- Use plain yellow cornmeal, not cornmeal mixes, for best texture and flavor.
