Moist Corn Muffin Recipe With Sour Cream
If you love cornbread, chances are you'll also love corn muffins. They're essentially the same thing, only in a more convenient, handheld format that's perfect for snacking on the go. Muffins are also much easier to make than traditional cornbread, and their texture tends to be a bit more moist and tender as well. This recipe for moist corn muffins with sour cream is sure to become a new favorite.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the muffins to become tough.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until they're golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- To make these muffins more flavorful, you can add a handful of chopped jalapeños, green onions, or cooked bacon to the batter before baking.
- If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute an equal amount of plain yogurt or buttermilk instead.
- For even more moisture and flavor, brush the warm muffins with a bit of melted butter and honey as soon as they come out of the oven.
- If you're looking to reduce calories or fat, you can use low-fat or nonfat sour cream, or substitute half of the butter with applesauce or mashed bananas.
