1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
2 tablespoons prepared applesauce
2/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 12 (4 1/2-ounce) individual muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray or coat with butter; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and oat flour. Whisk in baking powder. Add sugar, and whisk to combine. Stir in pears and 1/2 cup ginger.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, canola oil, yogurt, and applesauce. Add to flour mixture and stir to combine; stir in butter.
  • Fill prepared muffin tins 2/3 full with batter. In a small bowl, mix together reserved chopped pears and remaining 2 tablespoons ginger; sprinkle evenly over batter. Transfer to oven and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer pans to a wire rack. Let muffins cool 15 minutes in pans before serving.

Tips:

  • Utilize Fresh Herbs: Elevate the flavors of your corn muffins by incorporating fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or chives. These herbs add a burst of aromatic freshness that complements the corn and ricotta.
  • Choose Sweet Corn: Opt for sweet corn kernels for a naturally sweet flavor in your muffins. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn, depending on availability.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in dense, dry muffins. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  • Bake at a High Temperature: Start by baking the muffins at a high temperature (425°F) for a few minutes to create a crispy exterior. Then, reduce the temperature to finish baking and ensure a moist interior.
  • Add a Touch of Sweetness: Enhance the flavors of the corn muffins by adding a hint of sweetness. You can use honey, maple syrup, or granulated sugar, depending on your preference.

Conclusion:

Pear, ricotta, and rosemary corn muffins are a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors. With the addition of fresh corn, ricotta cheese, and rosemary, these muffins offer a unique twist on classic cornbread. Whether you're serving them as a breakfast treat, a side dish, or a snack, these muffins are sure to impress your taste buds.
