Honey Cornbread Muffins
Honey cornbread muffins are soft cornbread muffins with a hint of honey. These easy cornbread muffins take less than 30 minutes to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour properly measured
- 1 cup cornmeal fine ground, yellow
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk at room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 egg at room temperature, large
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs and honey.
- Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, and mix just until combined.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tin cups.
- Bake muffins 12-15 minutes, or until the corn muffins are beginning to turn golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Flour: Weighing the flour is the most accurate way to measure it (click on "metric" just above the ingredients for the weights). To properly measure the flour, sift or stir to break it up, lightly spoon into the measuring cup, and level. Do not pack the flour.
- Cornmeal: I like to use fine ground cornmeal because it incorporates into the batter well. Coarser cornmeal will give you more cornmeal texture in the muffins.
- Buttermilk: Whole milk or low-fat buttermilk will work. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a homemade buttermilk substitute.
- Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe.
- Nutritional values are estimates.
