Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

½ stick unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 cups blue cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups buttermilk
4 large eggs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
½ cup honey
1 cup frozen corn

Steps:

Make the herbed honey butter: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, honey, parsley, thyme, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, mix all the ingredients until smooth and incorporated, about 3 minutes. Scoop the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log, then wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Make the cornbread muffins: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
Fold the dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture until fully combined, then add the frozen corn and mix to incorporate. The batter will be lumpy.
Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way.
Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are just slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Serve the muffins warm with the herbed honey butter.
Enjoy

BLUE CORN MUFFINS

Categories side-dish

Yield 6 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 ounces (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons finely diced onion
1 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1 jalapeno peppers, finely diced
1/4 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro leaves
3/4 cup blue cornmeal (can substitute yellow)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Steps:

Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Grease a 6 slot muffin pan with non-stick vegetable spray.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, bell pepper, jalapeno, corn and cilantro. Whisk in the butter mixture.
In a separate bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar. Mix into the liquid mixture.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffins slots and bake for 16 minutes or until set, turning the pan once for even baking.

Tips:

Use fresh cornmeal for the best flavor. Fresh cornmeal has a more vibrant flavor than cornmeal that has been sitting on the shelf for a while.
Whisk the dry ingredients together before adding the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the batter is evenly mixed and that there are no lumps.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from spilling over.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Blue corn cornbread muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a great way to use up leftover cornmeal, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a hearty meal, blue corn cornbread muffins are sure to satisfy.
