Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Cornmeal
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Vegetable oil
- Milk
- Eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your cornbread muffins bake evenly and rise properly.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup milk, and 2 large eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, and eggs until fully combined. Make sure the eggs are well beaten and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with paper muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove the muffins from the tin and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cornbread muffins warm, and enjoy them plain or with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
Tips
- Preheat the Oven: Always preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before baking. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect rise and golden-brown crust.
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially for the flour and cornmeal. This ensures consistent results every time.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Check the expiration dates on your baking powder and other ingredients to ensure they are fresh. This will enhance the flavor and texture of your muffins.
- Experiment with Add-ins: For a twist on the classic recipe, consider adding ingredients like shredded cheese, jalapeños, or corn kernels for added flavor and texture.
- Cool Properly: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps maintain their shape and prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Serve Warm: These muffins are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Serve them with butter, honey, or your favorite spread for an irresistible treat!
