Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup cornmeal

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 cup mashed potatoes (cooled)

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.

  3. In another bowl, combine the softened butter, cheddar cheese, corn kernels, mashed potatoes, milk, sour cream, eggs, and parsley (if using).

  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If using frozen corn, make sure to thaw and drain it before using.

  • For a crispier top, lightly butter the tops of the muffins before baking.

 

  • You can also add cooked bacon or scallions for extra flavor.
