Yield Makes 9 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 21

Cornbread Muffins:
3 tablespoons coconut oil, plus more for greasing
6 pitted Medjool dates
Boiling water
¾ cup medium-grind yellow cornmeal
¾ cup flour
2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 heaping tablespoons freshly ground golden flaxseeds
1 cup unsweetened oat milk
Whipped Sweet Corn:
3 tablespoons vegan butter
¼ cup finely diced white onion
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
2 teaspoons coconut palm sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
½ cup Cashew Cream
Fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground white pepper
Jalapeño Pepper Jelly, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the muffins: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Generously coat nine wells of a standard muffin tin with coconut oil.
  • Put the dates in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for about 5 minutes. Drain the dates, reserving the soaking liquid, and transfer them to a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved soaking liquid and process, scraping down the sides and adding more of the reserved soaking liquid if necessary, until mostly creamy but with a few chunks remaining.
  • Place the prepared muffin tin in the oven to heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until blended.
  • Put the flaxseeds and 6 tablespoons water in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Whisk in the pureed dates and the coconut oil until smooth. Whisk in the oat milk until well combined. Add the oat milk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
  • When the muffin tin is hot, remove it from the oven and immediately scrape the batter into the prepared muffin cups, distributing it evenly among them (they should be a little over three-quarters full).
  • Bake until the muffins are golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool a bit more.
  • Make the whipped sweet corn: While the muffins are cooling, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring often, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the corn, sugar, and salt and cook, stirring often, until the corn is just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Scrape the contents of the skillet into a food processor. Add the cashew cream and process until silky smooth, adding water as necessary to reach the desired consistency. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the warm muffins slathered with whipped sweet corn and topped with pepper jelly.

SWEET! GLUTEN FREE SWEET CORNBREAD OR CORN MUFFINS



Sweet! Gluten Free Sweet Cornbread or Corn Muffins image

Gluten-free, casein-free cornbread for those of you who like cornbread that tastes like cake. You need 6.6 ounces of gluten-free flour, but because everyone's blend is different, volume can differ based on the density of the type of flour you're using (e.g. rice vs. garbanzo bean flour). I use a store-mix that's primarily rice flour with potato and tapioca starches and it comes out to slightly more than 1.5 cups of gluten-free flour.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (7.5 ounce) packages corn bread mix (such as Jiffy®)
½ cup milk
½ cup sour cream
3 tablespoons honey
2 eggs
2 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels. Fresh corn kernels will give your muffins the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn kernels, you can use frozen corn kernels that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill the muffin cups too full, the muffins will overflow and make a mess. If you are using a jumbo muffin tin, fill the muffin cups even less, about halfway, so that the muffins rise enough.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes for regular-sized muffins and 30-35 minutes for jumbo muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Sweet cornbread muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. You can also use them to make sandwiches or croutons. With their moist and fluffy texture, sweet cornbread muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
