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.

Tips:
- Use a Gluten-Free Cornmeal Mix: For the best results, use a gluten-free cornmeal mix that is specifically designed for baking. This will ensure that your muffins are light and fluffy, and not dense and crumbly.
- Measure Your Ingredients Carefully: When baking, it is important to measure your ingredients carefully. This will help to ensure that your muffins turn out perfectly. If you don't have a kitchen scale, use measuring cups and level them off with a knife.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. If you overmix the batter, your muffins will be more likely to be dry and crumbly.
- Bake the Muffins at a High Temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior. Bake the muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the Muffins Cool Completely Before Serving: Once the muffins are baked, let them cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
These gluten-free cornmeal muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, and they are also a good option for people who are looking for a healthier alternative to traditional muffins. With their crispy crust and fluffy interior, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
