Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until completely incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm and enjoy as a delicious side dish or breakfast treat.
