Classic Corn Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Corn Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), creating the perfect environment for your muffins to rise beautifully.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take a moment to prepare your muffin pan.

3. Step 3

   You can either grease it lightly or line it with cheerful paper muffin liners—both options work wonderfully! In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

4. Step 4

   Give it a good stir to ensure all those dry ingredients are evenly mixed, setting the stage for delicious muffins.

5. Step 5

   Next, add in the beaten egg, canola oil, and milk.

6. Step 6

   Gently stir the mixture until everything is just combined; remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine—overmixing can lead to tough muffins, and we want them light and fluffy! Now, it’s time to fill those muffin cups.

7. Step 7

   Spoon the batter into each cup, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.

8. Step 8

   Once your oven is ready, pop the muffin pan inside and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

9. Step 9

   You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, revealing that golden goodness.

10. Step 10

    When the timer goes off, carefully remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few moments.

11. Step 11

    The aroma will be irresistible, and soon you’ll be enjoying warm, homemade muffins that are perfect for breakfast or a delightful snack!.
