Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand whisk
  • 12-cup muffin tin
  • Oven
  • Paper liners

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups Quaker cornmeal yellow
  • ½ cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Quaker old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tbsp. Granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp. Baking powder
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 1 cup full-fat Milk
  • ¼ cup melted Butter
  • 1 large Egg room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Mix the milk, melted butter, and egg in another bowl with a hand whisk until well blended.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Do not overmix. You can leave small lumps in the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups in your tin.
  • Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. After 15 minutes, frequently check for appearance. If the tops are golden brown or a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, remove the muffins from the oven.
  • Allow the muffins to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • Folding the egg white — Want to try something different? I separate the egg white from the yolk for a softer, fluffier texture. I beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. I then add the egg white to the batter after everything is incorporated. The trick is folding the beaten egg white into the batter slowly and gently with a spatula. This is a process in which you should avoid overmixing. This may be an extra step, but the outcome is worth the effort.
