Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheddar Cornbread Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take a moment to prepare your muffin tin.

3. Step 3

   You can either grease it well or line it with cheerful paper liners—whichever you prefer! In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, sour cream, melted butter, and a beaten egg.

4. Step 4

   Give it a good stir until everything is smooth and well blended.

5. Step 5

   Next, gently add in the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, chopped corn, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

6. Step 6

   Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened; remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine—overmixing can lead to tough muffins! Now, it’s time to fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter for that delightful cheesy goodness in every bite.

7. Step 7

   Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each one about two-thirds full to allow for some lovely rising.

8. Step 8

   Pop the muffin tin into your preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes.

   You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Once baked to golden perfection, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
