Ingredients
  

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional, for a savory twist)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in Corn and Cheese: Gently fold in the corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese, if using, until evenly distributed.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Using a scoop or a measuring cup, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm, with butter or honey if desired.
