Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup roasted blueberries
- 1 cup brie cheese, cubed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the roasted blueberries and cubed brie cheese into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking the blueberries.
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the cornbread batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the muffins are baking, prepare the warm honey butter. In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and honey. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Once the muffins are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve the warm muffins with the honey butter drizzled on top or on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Roasted Blueberry and Brie Cornbread Muffins!
Tips
- Roast Your Blueberries: For the best flavor, roast your blueberries in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before adding them to the batter. This enhances their sweetness and brings out a deeper flavor.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so keep it gentle for a light and fluffy texture.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your eggs and milk are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and contributes to even baking.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a few minutes before the suggested baking time. They should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Customize Your Cheese: While brie adds a lovely creaminess, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like goat cheese or sharp cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- Serve Warm: These muffins are best enjoyed warm, so serve them fresh out of the oven with the warm honey butter for an extra special touch!
