Description
These sweet, moist Cornbread Muffins are bursting with blueberry flavor! Cornmeal keeps them from being overly sweet, but they’re so cheery and enjoyable you’ll want to enjoy them as a breakfast muffin with a morning cup of coffee or tea.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 flax egg ( 1tbsp ground flax seeds mixed with 3 tbsp of water) or 1 large egg
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (you can also use whole wheat pastry flour, spelt flour or white whole wheat flour)
- 1/3 cup fine or medium ground cornmeal
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, at room temperature ( should be soft)
- 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
- ½ cup maple syrup (at room temperature)
- ¾ cup coconut or almond milk, lukewarm
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- Cooking spray
- Sparkling sugar (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line an extra-large muffin pan with 16 liners or use 2 muffin tins ( with 12 holes)
- In a small bowl, combine the ground flax seeds with 3 tbsp water and set it aside. If using a regular egg, you will add it later
- Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside
- In a large bowl, beat the softened coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and maple syrup at medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes
- Add the coconut or almond milk, soaked flax seeds OR egg, and grated ginger. Mix until well combined, for an additional 3 minutes (the mixture will look curdled)
- Reduce the speed and add the flour mixture. Mix until just combined (do not overmix)
- Gently fold the blueberries into the muffin batter
- Spray the muffin liners with cooking spray and fill them 3/4 of the way with the batter (we like using an ice cream scoop or a 1/4 cup measuring cup to make sure they are all the same size)
- Sprinkle each muffin with some sparkling sugar (you can also use regular sugar). Bake at 400F for 25-27 minutes
