Ingredients
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more, to taste
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Grease the muffin tins or line them with paper liners. You should have 12 prepared muffin tin cups.
Step 3 -In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, the eggs, the milk, and the melted butter until well mixed.
Step 4 -Add the cornmeal, the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt. For sweeter muffins, add the extra sugar.
Step 5 -Gently stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as that will lead to tougher muffins.
Step 6 -Divide the batter into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each one 3/4 of the way full.
Step 7 -Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 8 -Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 1-2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 9 -Serve warm!
