Enjoy these vegan and gluten-free orange muffins warm with some delicious vegan butter!

GLUTEN-FREE CORNMEAL MUFFINS



Gluten-Free Cornmeal Muffins image

This is my adaptation of the recipe on the package of the brand of cornmeal I use. A family favorite that disappears quickly!

Provided by Queen Bead

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup cornmeal
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup gluten-free flour (I use Gluten-Free Flour Blend)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons guar gum (or xanthan gum)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup cooking oil

Steps:

  • Combine cornmeal and milk in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for one minute, and let stand.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F Line muffin tin with paper baking cups, and spray with oil or non-stick spray.
  • Combine remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
  • Add egg and oil to cornmeal mixture.
  • Add cornmeal mixture to dry ingredients, and stir with a fork until blended. Do not over mix.
  • Fill cups 2/3 full, and bake for 20 - 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: Use a finely ground cornmeal for a smooth texture. You can also use a medium-ground cornmeal, but it will give the muffins a slightly grittier texture.
  • Use fresh figs: Fresh figs are the best choice for this recipe. If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs, but they will need to be soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to firm up.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free cornmeal muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with flavor from the fresh figs and orange, and they are also a good source of fiber and protein. Plus, they're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a gluten-free breakfast or snack, give these cornmeal muffins a try!
