Gluten-Free Cornmeal Molasses Muffins image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins (1/3 cup tins)

Number Of Ingredients 13

140 grams (approximately 1 cup) cornmeal
140 grams (approximately 1 cup) whole grain gluten-free mix or all-purpose gluten-free mix
35 grams (approximately 1/4 cup) soy flour or additional all-purpose gluten-free mix
2 7/10 grams (1 teaspoon) ground ginger
10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking powder
5 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda
3 1/2 grams (rounded 1/2 teaspoon) salt
2 eggs
240 grams (1 cup) plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk
175 grams (1/2 cup) blackstrap molasses
5 grams (1 teaspoon) vanilla
75 grams (1/3 cup) canola or grape seed oil
75 grams (1/2 cup) raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the middle. Oil or butter muffin tins. Sift together the cornmeal, gluten-free flour mix, soy flour, ginger, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Pour in any grainy bits that remain in the sifter.
  • In a separate large bowl whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, molasses, vanilla and oil. Quickly whisk in the cornmeal mixture. Fold in the raisins.
  • Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill muffin cups to the top. Place in the oven and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned and well risen. Remove from the heat and if the muffins come out of the tins easily, remove from the tins and allow to cool on a rack. If they don't release easily, allow to cool and then remove from the tins.

I'm not a big fan of cornmeal, but I decided to give these muffins a try anyway. I'm glad I did! They were surprisingly delicious. The cornmeal gave them a nice texture and the molasses added a lovely sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dense and dry, and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra oil or butter next time.

I'm not gluten-free, but I made these muffins for a friend who is. She loved them! I thought they were pretty good too. They're not as light and fluffy as regular muffins, but they have a nice dense texture and a great flavor.

I love these muffins! They are so easy to make and they taste great. I usually add some chopped walnuts or raisins to them for a little extra flavor.
