Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 Eggs, large
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped and toasted
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or muffin liners

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and chopped, toasted pecans with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these flavorful Blueberry Pecan Corn Muffins as a breakfast treat or a midday snack!
