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.

Tips for Making Gluten-Free Cornmeal Muffins:

  • Choose the right cornmeal. For the best flavor and texture, use a finely ground cornmeal. Avoid using cornmeal that is labeled "coarse" or "medium-grind".
  • Measure your ingredients carefully. This is especially important for gluten-free baking, as the proportions of ingredients are often more critical than in traditional recipes.
  • Mix your batter gently. Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake your muffins at a high temperature. This will help them to rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Let your muffins cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free cornmeal muffins can be a delicious and satisfying snack or breakfast. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them plain or with added ingredients like berries, nuts, or cheese, gluten-free cornmeal muffins are a great way to enjoy the flavor of cornmeal without the gluten.
