Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free 1:1 blend)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or dairy-free milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or olive oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your muffin tin with liners or grease generously.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped thyme, chives, parsley, and shredded cheddar cheese if using.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before removing from the tin.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Use fresh herbs for best flavor. Tent with foil if muffins brown too quickly. Room temperature eggs and buttermilk help batter come together smoothly. For dairy-free, substitute butter and buttermilk accordingly and omit cheese or use plant-based alternative.
