Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Time 1h

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 17

Nonstick cooking spray, for the muffin pan
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the pineapple: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine the brown sugar, butter, allspice, kosher salt and cinnamon in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook until bubbling. Add the pineapple, stir to coat and cook until the liquid has nearly evaporated and the caramel has deepened in color, about 7 minutes.
  • For the muffins: Meanwhile, working quickly, whisk the boiling water into the cornmeal in a large bowl until you get a stiff mash. Whisk in the buttermilk, stirring until smooth. Stir in the egg, then add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, kosher salt and baking soda and mix until just incorporated.
  • Add 2 to 3 pieces of the pineapple to the bottom of each muffin cup. Evenly divide the cornbread mixture among the muffin cups, filling each three-quarters of the way full.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Use a paring knife to remove each muffin, flipping it to reveal the caramelized pineapple before placing on a plate. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve!

RICH AND BUTTERY CORN MUFFINS



Rich and Buttery Corn Muffins image

Made with plenty of melted butter and sour cream, these golden, lightly sweet corn muffins are moist, rich and delicately crumbly. If you can find coarsely ground cornmeal (as opposed the fine stuff that's on most supermarket shelves), you'll also get deep corn flavor and a pleasantly grainy texture. Serve these warm from the oven, slathered with even more butter, or halved and toasted under the broiler to crisp the surface. They'll even keep for a few days if you store them in the fridge, and freeze perfectly for up to a month.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup/255 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the pan
2 cups/240 grams coarse or stone-ground cornmeal
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/165 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/240 milliliters sour cream or whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
2 large eggs, at room temperature
Demerara sugar, as needed
Softened butter, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees, and generously butter the cups and tops of a muffin tin. (The muffins will overflow, and those crisp edges are delicious.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk and eggs. Fold butter mixture into dry ingredients, then scoop batter into muffin tin (it will be very full). Sprinkle each muffin top with Demerara sugar.
  • Bake until golden on the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tin and cool to room temperature. Serve with even more butter.

BROWN BUTTER CORNBREAD MUFFINS WITH SWEET TEA GLAZE



Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins with Sweet Tea Glaze image

This spin on the home cooking favorite is a nod to a classic Southern combination: iced tea and cornbread. Here, the tea makes a sweet and shiny glaze and the delicate sweetness of fresh corn kernels balances out the buttery bread. Muffins are perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts, but you could also make it in a cast-iron skillet and serve family style. Beware, your overnight guests may never leave.

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup coarse yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 cup fresh summer corn kernels (or thawed frozen)
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup honey
4 large eggs
For the Sweet Tea Glaze:
2 ½ cups Gold Peak® Sweet Tea
¼ cup honey
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Make The Brown Butter Cornbread Muffins:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut 6 tablespoons of butter into 12 (½ tablespoon) pats. Place 1 pat of butter in each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut the remaining 1 ½ sticks of butter into chunks and melt in a medium, light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, swirling the pan, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, 5 to 7 minutes-the butter will foam while it's browning. Remove from the heat, add the corn, and stir to coat the kernels in butter. Let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and eggs. Add the warm (not hot) corn mixture and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour mixture and gently fold until just combined.
  • Place the muffin pan in the oven and heat until the butter is melted, foaming, and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup-they will be very full. Return the pan to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes in the pan then transfer the muffins to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Make The Sweet Tea Glaze:
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the tea and honey and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until melted. Carefully measure 2 tablespoons of the hot glaze, combine with the cornstarch, and whisk to dissolve. Whisk the cornstarch mixture back into the glaze, add the salt, and continue to simmer, whisking frequently, until thick and slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour the glaze over the muffins and enjoy warm or at room temperature-before they're all gone!

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple provides the best flavor and texture to the muffins. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
  • Brown the Butter: Browning the butter adds a nutty, caramelized flavor to the muffins. Be sure to watch the butter carefully so that it doesn't burn.
  • Use Buttermilk: Buttermilk helps to make the muffins moist and tender. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Muffin Cups Evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the Muffins Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These Brown Butter Pineapple Corn Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They are moist, tender, and full of flavor. The browned butter adds a nutty, caramelized flavor that complements the sweetness of the pineapple and corn. These muffins are also a great way to use up any leftover pineapple or corn that you may have on hand. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make muffin recipe, give these Brown Butter Pineapple Corn Muffins a try!
