Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with a light coating of cooking spray or muffin liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and cornmeal. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, to allow the cornmeal to soften and absorb the milk. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Add the flour, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of honey, egg, baking powder, and salt to the cornmeal mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure a tender crumb. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Gently spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (20-25 minutes)

06

Step

While the muffins are baking, prepare the honey-cinnamon butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, cinnamon, and remaining 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix until well combined and creamy. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Serve the warm cornbread muffins with a generous dollop of honey-cinnamon butter. Enjoy! (2 minutes)

For an even more intense honey flavor, try using buckwheat honey or orange blossom honey.
If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute with an equal amount of granulated sugar plus a tablespoon of molasses.
Feel free to add a handful of fresh or frozen berries to the batter for a burst of fruity flavor.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
