Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 Egg, large
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, egg, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the finely chopped chives, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or a scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with butter or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy!
