Ingredients

• 1 cup blue cornmeal (gluten-free)
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blue cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 6

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 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are delicious on their own or with a dollop of butter or a drizzle of honey.
