These Easy Honey Butter Cornbread Muffins are a quick, one-bowl recipe that yields moist, tender muffins with a sweet buttery flavor, perfect for snacks or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
  3. Add melted unsalted butter, honey, egg, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full. Fold in any optional mix-ins like corn kernels or blueberries if desired.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Check at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, muffins are done.
  6. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better batter texture. Melt butter until warm but not hot to avoid cooking the egg prematurely. Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Grease muffin tin well or use silicone liners to prevent sticking. Tent muffins with foil after 15 minutes if oven runs hot to avoid over-browning.
