Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 pieces Large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each muffin cup with cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be just combined and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake 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 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 8

Enjoy these muffins on their own or pair them with a pat of butter or drizzle of extra honey for added indulgence!
