How to Make Honey Thyme Cornbread Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
  3. Add 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup milk to the eggs. Whisk until combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried), and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the muffins bake, gently heat 2 tablespoons of honey in a small saucepan over low heat until warm and slightly runny.
  9. Immediately after removing the muffins from the oven, brush the tops generously with the warm honey.
  10. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
