Ingredients
  

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice)

1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

2 large eggs

1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for added flavor)

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth. If you’re using honey, add it to the wet mixture.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in Corn and Cheese: Gently fold in the sweet corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese if using. This adds great texture and flavor to the muffins.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
