Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted butter (or vegetable oil for a lighter option)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a small scoop or tablespoon, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Allow the muffin bites to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
