Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners or spray with nonstick spray. Set pan aside.
- Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the cooled melted butter, oil, brown sugar, and honey together until smooth and thick. Then whisk in the egg until combined. Finally, whisk in the buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the peppers. Avoid over-mixing.
- Spoon batter into muffin liners, filling all the way to the top. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C), then reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 16–17 minutes. Use a toothpick to test; if it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
