Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Step 3: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Step 4: While muffins bake, warm 1/3 cup blueberry jalapeño jam with 2 tbsp honey in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened.
  5. Step 5: Remove muffins from oven and brush each top generously with the warm jam glaze. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
