Yield Makes 9 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 21

Cornbread Muffins:
3 tablespoons coconut oil, plus more for greasing
6 pitted Medjool dates
Boiling water
¾ cup medium-grind yellow cornmeal
¾ cup flour
2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 heaping tablespoons freshly ground golden flaxseeds
1 cup unsweetened oat milk
Whipped Sweet Corn:
3 tablespoons vegan butter
¼ cup finely diced white onion
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
2 teaspoons coconut palm sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
½ cup Cashew Cream
Fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground white pepper
Jalapeño Pepper Jelly, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the muffins: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Generously coat nine wells of a standard muffin tin with coconut oil.
  • Put the dates in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for about 5 minutes. Drain the dates, reserving the soaking liquid, and transfer them to a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved soaking liquid and process, scraping down the sides and adding more of the reserved soaking liquid if necessary, until mostly creamy but with a few chunks remaining.
  • Place the prepared muffin tin in the oven to heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until blended.
  • Put the flaxseeds and 6 tablespoons water in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Whisk in the pureed dates and the coconut oil until smooth. Whisk in the oat milk until well combined. Add the oat milk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
  • When the muffin tin is hot, remove it from the oven and immediately scrape the batter into the prepared muffin cups, distributing it evenly among them (they should be a little over three-quarters full).
  • Bake until the muffins are golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool a bit more.
  • Make the whipped sweet corn: While the muffins are cooling, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring often, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the corn, sugar, and salt and cook, stirring often, until the corn is just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Scrape the contents of the skillet into a food processor. Add the cashew cream and process until silky smooth, adding water as necessary to reach the desired consistency. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the warm muffins slathered with whipped sweet corn and topped with pepper jelly.

SWEET! GLUTEN FREE SWEET CORNBREAD OR CORN MUFFINS



Sweet! Gluten Free Sweet Cornbread or Corn Muffins image

Gluten-free, casein-free cornbread for those of you who like cornbread that tastes like cake. You need 6.6 ounces of gluten-free flour, but because everyone's blend is different, volume can differ based on the density of the type of flour you're using (e.g. rice vs. garbanzo bean flour). I use a store-mix that's primarily rice flour with potato and tapioca starches and it comes out to slightly more than 1.5 cups of gluten-free flour.

Tips:

  • For a moist and tender cornbread muffin, use buttermilk or sour cream in the batter.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the muffins. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • 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.
  • Serve the muffins warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
