Ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely shredded
2 tablespoons cream cheese (to be mixed into the batter)
2 tablespoons honey
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for mini muffin-sized cornbreads. Grease a mini muffin tin or use paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, honey, and cream cheese.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the finely shredded basil.
Fill each mini muffin cup with the cornbread batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the mini cornbread muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying your homemade creation!
The incorporation of honey introduces a delightful sweetness that beautifully harmonizes with the earthy basil, resulting in a truly unique and unforgettable cornbread flavor.
