GLUTEN-FREE CORNMEAL MOLASSES MUFFINS
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
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven 375°F Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.

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.

- 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.
