Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and maple syrup until smooth. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and whisk again until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing so your muffins stay tender.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 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 muffin pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
