Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut parchment paper into twelve 5-by-5-inch squares. Lightly grease the inside of a 12-cup muffin tin. Center a square of parchment paper over 1 of the cups and use your fingers to press the parchment into the cup, so that it sticks to the sides and bottom. Crease the paper as needed to fit and repeat with the remaining parchment (regular muffin liners work just as well but the parchment looks pretty).
- 2. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a large bowl.
- 3. Whisk together the yogurt, applesauce, molasses, orange zest, eggs and butter in a separate small bowl.
- 4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined (don't fret if the batter is lumpy, this means your batter isn't over-mixed).
- 5. Fill each liner almost to the top of the tin (an ice-cream scoop lightly greased with nonstick spray will help). Sprinkle each muffin with the toasted oats.
- 6. Bake, rotating about halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean and the tops are just slightly puffed and spring back when touched, 20 to 24 minutes. Let rest in the hot muffin pan 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and let cool 30 minutes. Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.

Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each one to the top. Bake for 30 minutes, until the tops are crisp and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly and remove from the pan.
GLUTEN-FREE CORNMEAL MOLASSES MUFFINS
Strong molasses provides a good source of iron in an easy-to-make muffin. One of my favorite breads is a steamed brown bread called Boston brown bread. It is made with cornmeal and flour, and is the inspiration for these muffins, which are easier to make. The strong molasses, which is a good source of iron, flavor will mask the bean flavor of commercial gluten free mixes, so feel free to use one.

CORN AND MOLASSES MUFFINS
These are sweet cornmeal muffins (not too sweet), with a cake-like texture. They'd be good with some currants or raisins added, too, I'd bet. I like them unadulterated and unadorned, though...I don't even think they need butter. I got this from "Enchanted Broccoli Forest," by the way.

SWEET CORN MUFFINS
I love to make cornbread and corn muffins, but often the results are not moist or sweet enough for my taste. So I experimented until I came up with these light, pleasantly sweet muffins. They ended up winning a blue ribbon at our county fair. —Patty Bourne, Owings, Maryland

RICH AND BUTTERY CORN MUFFINS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients until well blended. Put in greased 9-inch round pan.
- Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes. Cut in wedges, butter generously and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels will give your muffins the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen or canned corn kernels, but they will not be as flavorful.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups to the top. This will help the muffins rise evenly. If you don't fill the muffin cups to the top, the muffins will be flat and dense.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help the muffins rise quickly and evenly. Bake the muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool before serving. This will help the muffins set and firm up. Let the muffins cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
These corn and molasses muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The muffins are also a great way to use up leftover corn. So next time you have some leftover corn, be sure to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
