Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups gluten free flour (140 grams)
  • ¾ cup cornmeal
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425℉.
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 ¼ cups gluten free flour, ¾ cup cornmeal, ¼ cup sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon fine sea salt. Stir in the 1 cup whole milk, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add the dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
  3. Pour into the prepared pan, place in the oven, and bake for about 20 minutes, until a tester inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan set on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out to cool competely.

Notes

  • Make it dairy-free - Use olive oil or non-dairy butter for the butter, and substitute your preferred non-dairy milk for the milk
  • Make it sweeter - You can make this into a dessert muffin by adding a bit more sweetener.
  • Make it into muffins - Add ¾ cup sweetener of choice and 1 cup blueberries or raspberries to make this into a breakfast muffin recipe.
  • Another sweetener. I love sweetening my cornbread muffins with honey or maple syrup instead of sugar. You can also try coconut sugar.
