Time 30m

Yield 18 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup unbleached flour
1/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Grease bottoms only of 18 muffin cups (2 1/2inches x 1 1/2 inches in size).
  • Cook onions and peppers in butter for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  • In a large bowl, using a fork, beat milk, 4 Tablespoons melted butter and eggs until well combined.
  • Stir in cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until flour is moistened.
  • (Batter will be slightly lumpy).
  • Fold in the peppere and onions.
  • Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups (batter will be almost level with rims of muffin cups).
  • Bake muffins for about 20 minutes or until light golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use fresh red bell peppers: Fresh red bell peppers have a sweeter and more intense flavor compared to canned or frozen ones, resulting in more flavorful muffins.
  • Roast the red peppers before using: Roasting the red peppers enhances their sweetness and smoky flavor, adding depth to the muffins.
  • Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornmeal: This combination gives the muffins a slightly gritty texture and a nutty flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups to the top: This ensures that the muffins rise properly and have a domed top.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before serving: This allows the muffins to set and makes them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Red pepper corn muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack. With their vibrant color, slightly gritty texture, and sweet and savory flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone. They are also a great way to use up leftover roasted red peppers.
