Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the top of a muffin pan and fill each cup with a paper liner. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the milk, melted butter, avocado oil, salt, sugar, and eggs in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir with a rubber spatula until the ingredients are blended. Don't overmix!
- With a standard ice cream scoop or spoon, place a rounded scoop of batter into the paper liners, filling each one about ¾ of the way full. Then, push a small cube of guava into each muffin.
- Bake the cornbread muffins with guava for 25 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly and transfer them to a cooling rack. Allow the cornbread muffins with guava to cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

- How to Freeze
- How to Freeze
- Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling just above three-quarters full. Divide the topping among the muffins, pressing lightly. Freeze until set, about 3 hours. The muffins can be removed to zippered freezer bags at this point and stored for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the cornbread muffins with guava in a pan and bake until they are lightly golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

- To reheat: In the microwave until warm through, about 5 to 10 seconds.
- If you're using guava preserves, spoon the guava preserves into a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Push the tip of the bag through the top of the baked cornbread muffins and squeeze 1 to 2 tablespoons of preserves into the middle of each muffin.
- To make Homemade Sour Milk, Add 4 teaspoons of white distilled vinegar or fresh lemon juice to a measuring cup. Then, add enough milk or heavy cream to equal 1 cup. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until thickens and curdles.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature (this helps ensure everything gets incorporated together properly; not doing this can result in poor emulsification).
- Measure your flour and cornmeal correctly (Spoon and level the flour and cornmeal into the measuring cup rather than using the cup as a scoop. The extra flour can result in dense and dry cornbread muffins.)
- Don't overmix ( mix until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing can cause dense muffins).
- Grease your pan (to help ensure cornbread muffins come out cleanly).
