Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising cornmeal mix (I use White Lily enriched self-rising white cornmeal mix)
- 1 cup self-rising flour (I use White Lily enriched bleached self-rising flour)
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup milk or use 2% milk, whole
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sub with canola oil)
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal mix, self-rising flour, and sugar.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and oil.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the well in the center of the dry ingredients. Stir just until the ingredients are combined; be careful not to over-mix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the pan and serve warm, or cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Recipe slightly adapted from White Lily.
- Make your own self-rising cornmeal mix at home using this recipe.
- To make your own self-rising flour, place 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a bowl. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Cranberry: instead of blueberries, add 1 cup of dried sweetened cranberries or chopped fresh cranberries into the batter. For a hint of orange, try adding the zest from 1 orange, too!
- Lemon Blueberry Corn Muffins: add the zest from 1 lemon for a hint of lemon flavor in the muffins.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before baking, if you have the time. This allows the baking powder to activate and incorporate more air.
- Don’t over-mix the batter or it will become tough and dense, and you'll end up with dry muffins.
- To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center and make sure it comes out clean. Don't cook them for too long, or they can dry out.
- Use whole milk (or at least 2% milk) rather than skim milk or a lower-fat non-dairy alternative. The fat in the milk adds flavor, and it keeps the muffins moist.
