1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon xanthan gum
½ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup shortening
1 egg

  • Soak oats and buttermilk in a bowl for at least 1 hour, to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Tips:

  • Proper Fig Preparation: Before incorporating figs into your muffins, ensure they are properly prepared. Fresh figs should be ripe, with a slight give when gently squeezed. Cut the figs into small pieces to distribute their flavor and texture evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Measuring Cornmeal: When measuring cornmeal for baking, use the "scoop and sweep" method. Dip a measuring cup into the cornmeal and scoop it up, then level it off with a knife or straight edge.
  • Using Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps keep the muffins moist. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Mixing the Batter: Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the muffins at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the muffins during baking to prevent over-browning.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free cornmeal, fig, and orange muffins are a delicious and nutritious treat that can be enjoyed by people with gluten sensitivities or those looking for a healthier alternative to traditional muffins. With their combination of sweet and tangy flavors, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. Experiment with different types of fresh figs to add your own unique touch to this recipe.
