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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
