Parmesan-Corn Bread Muffins

I wanted to make cornbread muffins to serve with the Italian Chili but decided to add a little Italian twist by making them with Parmesan cheese.  I found a recipe on Cooking Light that looked fantastic and super simple.  The muffins turned out to have a nice subtle Parmesan flavor and were moist and flavorful… perfect slathered with butter and dipped in the delicious chili.

How to Make Parmesan-Cornbread Muffins

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Coat a muffin tray with cooking spray.

Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.  Mix until well combined.   In another dish whisk together the buttermilk, oil, and egg together.  Pour well-blended mixture along with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese into the flour mixture.  Gently stir until just combined.  Divide the batter into 9 muffin cups in the muffin tray.  Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan equally on top of each muffin.

Place into the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.  Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.  Serve slathered in butter.  Enjoy.

  1. I have all the ingredients in the kitchen, now I wonder if I put some grated courgette into this to get rid of another one if it will work 🙂 Will give it a try. Thanks for the idea Diane

  2. I am thankful for your wonderful website filled with goodness!!! I was thinking about adding pepperoni pieces to this and making them for my kids lunches.

  3. I just volunteered to make corn bread for our chili day at the office. It was way easier than doing tamales but the thought crossed my mind. I like the idea of doing muffins instead of a couple of cast iron pans.
