Tips:

  • Use fresh basil. Fresh basil has a much more intense flavor than dried basil. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried basil, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with liners. This will make it easier to remove the muffins from the pan. If you don't have muffin liners, you can grease the muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These basil corn muffins with goat cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for summer gatherings or potlucks. The muffins are moist and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the corn and a tangy kick from the goat cheese. They are also gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using a dairy-free goat cheese.
