Tips:

  • To ensure your corn muffins are moist, use fresh corn kernels or thawed frozen corn. Fresh corn is best, but frozen corn will work in a pinch. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have rosemary on hand, you can substitute another herb, such as thyme or oregano.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the corn muffins. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough corn muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the corn muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Bake the corn muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the corn muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve the corn muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with butter, honey, or jam.

Conclusion:

These pear, ricotta, and rosemary corn muffins are a delicious and unique twist on a classic recipe. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. So next time you're looking for a new muffin recipe to try, give these a try.
