These fluffy honey butter cornbread muffins are a quick and easy homemade comfort food with a tender crumb and a sweet buttery finish, perfect for cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) yellow cornmeal (medium grind)
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until smooth. Add whole milk, sour cream, melted unsalted butter, honey, and vanilla extract if using. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold until just combined, leaving some lumps.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. While muffins bake, melt 2 tablespoons butter and mix with 1 tablespoon honey.
  8. Remove muffins from oven and brush tops generously with the honey butter glaze.
  9. Transfer muffins to a cooling rack and let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Do not overmix batter to keep muffins light and fluffy. Bring eggs and milk to room temperature before mixing. Brush muffins with honey butter glaze while hot for a shiny, sweet finish. Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
