Cheddar Chive Corn Muffins

a bowl of mini cheddar chive corn muffins

Cheddar Chive Corn MuffinsI don’t know about you, corn bread is one of my all time favorite things to eat. However, I’m kind of a corn bread snob. I’m also pretty confident that my corn bread recipe is the best around. Especially during this time of year (even if it is still 85 degrees out), corn bread is pretty much my staple side when it comes to anything fall. Soups, chilis, and pretty much anything comforting.

Cheddar Chive Corn MuffinsYou wanna know the secret to really good cornbread?

Really good quality cornmeal.

I’ve been using Bob’s Red Mill cornmeal forever, and it truly makes the PERFECT corn bread.

Cheddar Chive Corn MuffinsI like to use the medium grind – it gives the corn bread a great texture and amazing flavor. Simply add some shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives for the cutest and most delicious (and addicting) little muffins.

I dare you to try and eat just one.

Description

The cutest mini muffins made with flakey corn meal, and loaded with cheddar cheese and chives.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup yellow corn meal ((medium grind))
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups half and half
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2–3 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a mini muffin tin and set aside.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, corn meal, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Combine half and half, eggs, oil and melted butter in a separate medium bowl and mix well.
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and using a spatula stir until just blended. Gently stir in the cheese and chives. Fill muffins tins 3/4 full and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden and a tooth pick inserted in the center just barely comes out clean.

Notes

Can also make these into regular sized muffins. Just bake for about 20 minutes.

    Hi! These look so great! I’m going to my sister in laws for Thanksgiving, and want to bring these! Any tips, how long should I let them cool?

      They actually cool pretty quickly! 20-30 minutes tops!

Spoiler Alert:🚨It’s never the right time. ⁣ Spoiler Alert:🚨It’s never the right time. ⁣
⁣
There’s never gonna be the perfect time to go after your goals, make the change, take the leap or do that one scary thing you’ve been thinking about. Life will keep happening. There will always be a reason to not.⁣
⁣
But what if? What if you decided right now to make it work? What if you decided to prioritize that thing you KNOW will change your life (and the lives of others) forever? ⁣
⁣
What if I told you that in 8 weeks (think about how short that is in the grand scheme), you could feel confident enough in the kitchen to feed yourself and your family healthy, delicious meals that they begged for over and over again. ⁣
⁣
How would that make you feel? Truly... I want you to take a second to think about how you would feel knowing that you and your family were actually excited about the next meal. So excited that they go back for seconds and request it again the next night. Feels pretty good, huh? ⁣
⁣
Feels pretty awesome to put yourself first for a change because guess what? When you put yourself first, everybody wins. ⁣
⁣
When you shine, everybody lights up. Confidence is something we all have within us, sometimes we just need a little help finding it. ⁣
⁣
If you are someone who feels overwhelmed, lost or anxious in the kitchen, I am here to help. In fact, my gift in life is helping people overcome those feelings in the kitchen which ultimately bleeds into other areas of their life, lighting up the people around them. ⁣
⁣
Cook with Confidence is my 8-week high touch, virtual program that helps busy home cooks build confidence in the kitchen and learn how to cook delicious meals without being tied to a recipe. This is NOT your average cooking program. ⁣
⁣
This is NOT a program that hands you a list of ingredients or meal plans and sends you on your merry way. ⁣
⁣
This IS a program that dives deep into the fundamental skills that it takes to achieve ultimate kitchen freedom. Everything from kitchen essentials, to knife skills, to chicken, fish, soup, pasta and more. This IS a program that will change your life. ⁣

LOOK WHAT I MADE! My first 6-braid challah! 😍⁣
⁣
I’ve been super inspired by this new book JEW-ish by @jakecohen. ⁣
⁣
I love his story, the why behind the book and of course, the recipes!⁣
⁣
Jew-ish is the perfect way to describe how I grew up. Sure, I was raised Jewish, we celebrated all the big holidays and I had a Bat Mitzvah, but I never really built a strong connection with Judaism itself. ⁣
⁣
I’ve learned most everything I know about Judaism through having kids and learning alongside them. It’s been a beautiful journey for me and this book has inspired me to continue learning, celebrating and being proud. ✡️⁣
⁣
@jakecohen writes about making Shabbat and Jewish traditions whatever you want them to be without the pressure of making it perfect. He also teaches you how to make this challah! For me, food is what brings us all together and BOOM CLAP it doesn’t get more Jewish than this big ass challah! ⁣
⁣
Let’s do a GIVEAWAY to celebrate! ⁣
⁣
Enter for a chance to win a copy of @jakecohen book JEW-ISH.⁣
⁣
1. Tag a friend you love and tell them you love them! Let’s spread joy! ♥️⁣

That’s it! I’ll pick a winner tomorrow night. Shabbat Shalom friends!
