Corn Flour Muffins

These corn flour muffins are subtly sweet, golden, and tender. These refined sugar-free, vegan corn muffins are one of my favorite corn flour recipes.

Equipment

  • Muffin Pan
  • Paper baking cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute spelt flour or all purpose flour)
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the unsweetened applesauce, unsweetened plant-based milk, maple syrup, and extra virgin olive oil to a large mixing bowl, then mix well.
  • Add the corn flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to a second mixing bowl, then mix well.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then stir to combine.
  • Divide the batter evenly into a 12 cup muffin pan lined with paper baking cups.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out looking clean.
  • Let the muffins cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

  • Optional additions for these vegan corn muffins: add 1/2 cup of corn kernels (either fresh or frozen is fine) and/or one tablespoon of chopped jalapeño peppers. Stir them into the batter when you’re combining the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
  • Store these corn flour muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or freeze them for up to six months.
