GLUTEN-FREE CORNMEAL MOLASSES MUFFINS



Gluten-Free Cornmeal Molasses Muffins image

Strong molasses provides a good source of iron in an easy-to-make muffin. One of my favorite breads is a steamed brown bread called Boston brown bread. It is made with cornmeal and flour, and is the inspiration for these muffins, which are easier to make. The strong molasses, which is a good source of iron, flavor will mask the bean flavor of commercial gluten free mixes, so feel free to use one.

CORN AND MOLASSES MUFFINS



Corn and Molasses Muffins image

These are sweet cornmeal muffins (not too sweet), with a cake-like texture. They'd be good with some currants or raisins added, too, I'd bet. I like them unadulterated and unadorned, though...I don't even think they need butter. I got this from "Enchanted Broccoli Forest," by the way.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt, scant
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 cups milk (I use skim)
1 egg
5 tablespoons melted butter
4 tablespoons molasses
3 tablespoons sugar
1 dash cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven 375°F Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Make a well in the center.
  • In a separate container, beat together the remaining ingredients. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir just enough to combine thoroughly.
  • Fill the muffin cups just up to the edge of the pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the muffins from the pan right away, and cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before eating.

Tips:

  • For a crispy muffin top, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
  • Add a variety of mix-ins to your muffins, such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full, as the muffins will rise during baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These gluten-free cornmeal molasses muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack.
