Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup gluten free flour blend
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, gluten free flour blend, baking powder, and salt, evenly distributing the leavening agent and seasoning.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted butter or oil, and honey or sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
  5. Scoop and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain the crust’s crispness and prevents sogginess.

Notes

  • Use fresh cornmeal for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to create a smoother batter.
  • Check oven temperature for even rising and a golden crust.
  • Perform the toothpick test to check for doneness.
