Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • 12 cup muffin tin

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup gluten-free cornmeal
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup gluten-free baking flour
  • 4 tsps baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup almond milk

Instructions

  • Step 1 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with muffin liners and set aside.
  • Step 2 - In a large mixing bowl add cornmeal, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  • Step 3 - In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl pour in the eggs, pure maple syrup, milk, and oil. Mix well.
  • Step 4 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Step 5 - Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups about halfway up. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes! Serve warm with some yogurt butter (my favorite) or some warm butter of your choice ;)

Notes

Store your muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or you can make them ahead of time and freeze them in a ziplock freezer bag for up to 3 months.
If you eat these corn muffins alone that is enough to satisfy your palate, but if you really want to enhance the flavor of these muffins smear some honey on top before serving or some softened butter, AMAZING!
How can the kids help?
  • Have them help you pour all the ingredients into the mixing bowls before stirring.
  • If you decide to try corn dogs, this would be a fun way to have your kids help. After placing the hot dog on a stick, have your kids dip the hot dogs into the corn muffin mix before baking them. P.S. Kids LOVE corn dogs!
