Golden, tender cornbread muffins with a warm cinnamon-honey butter glaze that creates a sticky, shiny finish. Perfect as a cozy comfort treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (160g) medium grind cornmeal
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free flour)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey, plus extra for glaze
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together softened butter, milk, eggs, and honey until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full (yields 12 muffins).
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. While baking, mix 2 tbsp honey with 1 tsp cinnamon (optional) for the glaze; warm slightly if needed.
  8. Brush the warm glaze generously on top of the muffins immediately after baking.
  9. Cool muffins on a rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy. Use room-temperature eggs and butter for even mixing. Brush glaze while muffins are hot for best stickiness. If honey is thick, warm it slightly before glazing. Tent muffins with foil if browning too fast.
