Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour (120 grams)
- 1 cup (240 ml) yellow cornmeal (150 grams)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated sugar (50 grams)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder (15 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt (2.5 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsalted butter, melted (113 grams)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (120 milliliters)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream (60 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cream cheese, softened (113 grams)
- 1 cup (240 ml) diced peaches, fresh or canned (about 150 grams)
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (5 milliliters)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, sour cream, and eggs until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the cream cheese, diced peaches, jalapeño, and vanilla extract.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture in the muffins.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding more finely chopped jalapeño or a dash of cayenne pepper to the batter.
- Use fresh diced peaches for a burst of juicy sweetness, but drained canned peaches can also work in a pinch.
