Corn muffins are soft, golden, and slightly sweet with a comforting crumb that pairs perfectly with soups, stews, or a drizzle of honey. Easy to make and endlessly versatile, they’re a staple side for any meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool slightly before serving warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Notes

Use buttermilk for a richer, more tender muffin.Add shredded cheese and diced jalapeños for a savory version.Mix in fresh or frozen corn for added texture.Replace some of the flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier muffin.Mini muffins bake in about 10–12 minutes.
