Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup ripe peaches, diced (about 2 medium peaches)
- 1/4 cup honey (plus extra for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth. Add the honey and mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
- While the muffins are baking, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.
- Once the muffins are done baking, brush the tops with the honey butter glaze.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For gluten-free muffins, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- Replace buttermilk with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Use coconut oil instead of butter for a vegan alternative.
- Consider adding blueberries or raspberries for a fruity twist.
