Golden, slightly sweet, and tender all the way through, these corn muffins are the kind of baked good that disappears from the basket before the meal even starts. Buttermilk gives them a subtle tang and keeps the crumb incredibly moist, while honey adds just enough sweetness to make them feel a little special without tipping into dessert territory. The batter comes together in two bowls with no mixer required — just a whisk and a spatula — making this one of the most low-effort, high-reward things you can pull out of the oven. These are naturally free of meat and seafood entirely, so they fit comfortably into a pescatarian lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds needed. The key to that perfect domed top and soft interior is not overmixing — fold until the dry streaks just disappear and trust the process. Serve them warm straight from the tin alongside a bowl of chowder, a seafood stew, or honestly just with a generous swipe of butter on their own.
