Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 unit large egg
• 0.75 cup diced cooked ham
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
• 1 unit nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 12-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and large egg until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Fold in the diced cooked ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These mini corn ham muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
