Corn Muffins
Description
The Corn Muffins recipe features fresh corn kernels blended lightly and mixed into a base of cornmeal and flour, enhanced with sugar and baking powder for lift. The batter is moistened with almond or skim milk, eggs, and a neutral oil to produce tender muffins with flecks of corn providing a burst of texture. Baked at 400°F until golden and cooked through, these muffins exhibit a balance of sweetness and savory corn nuance with a soft crumb. Their simplicity makes them versatile for pairing with chili, barbecue, or enjoying plain.
The texture has a gentle crumble offset by the burst of corn kernels, giving each bite some interest. Baking powder ensures these muffins rise adequately, offering a light yet satisfying shape. The cornmeal imparts characteristic yellow hue and a subtle graininess distinguishing them from wheat-only muffins.
These muffins can be eaten warm or cold, making them practical for meal prep or on-the-go eating. Their neutral profile also makes them good candidates for adding butter, honey, or preserves as desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cup corn kernels from 2 medium ears, fresh
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal coarse
- 1 cup all-purpose flour such as Cup4Cup, or gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- In a medium bowl, whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, eggs, corn and 3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed. Stir just until the mixture comes together and only a few lumps remain.
