How to Bake Corn Muffins

Corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make baked treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a side dish with dinner. Here is a simple recipe to help you bake your own corn muffins at home:

Ingredients: - 1 cup yellow cornmeal - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 1 tablespoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 cup milk - 2 large eggs - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled - Optional: 1/2 cup of mix-ins such as shredded cheese, diced jalapeños, or chopped scallions

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper muffin liners.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. If using mix-ins, fold them in gently now.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

7. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your delicious homemade corn muffins!
