These cozy honey cornbread muffins feature a tender crumb with a subtle honey sweetness and a sticky-sweet glaze, perfect for autumn afternoons or any cozy gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • For the Sweet Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon warm water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, honey, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. While muffins bake, prepare the glaze by heating honey, butter, and warm water in a small saucepan until smooth and glossy; keep warm on low heat.
  8. As soon as muffins come out of the oven, brush the warm honey glaze generously over the tops.
  9. Cool muffins on a rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Brush the glaze on while muffins are hot for best absorption. Use room-temperature eggs and buttermilk for smooth batter. Warm thick or crystallized honey before measuring for glaze. Use a cooling rack to prevent soggy bottoms.
