Plantain corn muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option that combine the natural sweetness of plantains with the hearty flavor of corn. Plantains are a type of starchy fruit that is popular in many parts of the world, particularly in Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean. They are a good source of dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C. Cornmeal, on the other hand, is a coarsely ground flour made from dried corn kernels. It is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin B6, and niacin. When combined, plantains and cornmeal create a moist, flavorful muffin that is perfect for any occasion.

CORNIEST CORN MUFFINS



Corniest Corn Muffins image

These muffins are flat, firm-topped and cheerfully yellow; with an old-fashioned texture - grainy with small holes running through the crumb - and a wholesome, straight-from the farm flavor - they're tangy from the buttermilk and sweet from both the cornmeal (try to find stone-ground) and the corn kernels.

Categories     breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
6 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 tablespoons corn oil
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 cup corn kernels (add up to 1/3 cup more if you'd like) - fresh, frozen or canned (in which case, they should be drained and patted dry)

Steps:

  • Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin tin or fit the molds with paper muffin cups. Alternatively, use a silicone muffin pan, which needs neither greasing nor paper cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg, if you're using it. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, oil, egg and yolk together until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Don't worry about being thorough - the batter will be lumpy and that's just the way it should be. Stir in the corn kernels. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.

EDNA LEWIS'S CORN MUFFINS



Edna Lewis's Corn Muffins image

After reading that Edna Lewis preferred extra-fine cornmeal, I adapted her recipe to use corn flour. (Be sure to get corn flour, not pure white cornstarch.) These muffins have great corn flavor, and they have a very tender, creamy texture when hot and stay moist when cool. If you're using regular cornmeal, the muffins are still delicious, especially warm; just reduce the buttermilk to 2 cups.

Categories     side dish

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons lard or butter, plus 2 tablespoons melted butter
2 1/2 cups corn flour or extra-fine cornmeal (not cornstarch)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon homemade baking powder (see note)
2 1/2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400. Generously grease the wells of the muffin pan with 2 tablespoons of lard or butter, leaving the extra fat in the wells. In a mixing bowl, sift together the corn flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
  • When the oven is hot, place the muffin tin inside to preheat. Meanwhile, stir the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and mix well, then stir in the egg and 2 tablespoons melted butter. When the muffin pan is very hot (if using butter to grease, the butter should have just stopped sizzling), carefully remove it, and quickly fill each well with about 3 ounces of batter. Bake for 17-20 minutes, rotating once, until a toothpick comes out clean and the edges of the muffins are golden brown.
  • Let the pan cool for 2 minutes on a rack, then remove the muffins. (If necessary, use a paring knife to release them.) Serve muffins hot, with butter.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup light-brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup raisins

  • Add some spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all great spices to add to these muffins.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
