Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (120g) cornmeal (fine or medium ground)
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 Tablespoons (30ml) canola or vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
1/3 cup (67g) packed light or dark brown sugar
2 Tablespoons (30ml) honey
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, at room temperature*
1-2 chopped jalapeño peppers*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners or spray with nonstick spray. This recipe makes about 14 muffins, so there will be a 2nd batch. Set pan aside.
  • Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the cooled melted butter, oil, brown sugar, and honey together until completely smooth and thick. Then, whisk in the egg until combined. Finally, whisk in the buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the peppers. Avoid overmixing.
  • Spoon batter into muffin liners, filling all the way to the top. Bake for 5 minutes 425°F (218°C) then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 16-17 minutes. The total time these muffins should be in the oven is around 21-23 minutes. Use a toothpick to test. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before enjoying. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature will help them rise and give them a crispy exterior.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
