Healthy Honey Strawberry Cornmeal Muffins
Dairy-Free
Gluten-Free
Vegan
Looking for another way to enjoy some fresh summer berries? Do I have the perfect recipe for you! These healthy strawberry cornmeal muffins are not only delicious, but they’re gluten/dairy/refined sugar-free! I LOVE cornbread, and it might sound funny to mix in something like strawberries into a corn muffin but trust me. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
These strawberry cornmeal muffins are sweetened with honey, and don’t taste anything like the cornbread you’d have at a summer barbacue or with a big bowl of chili. They’re light, fluffy, and the strawberries and honey go perfectly together!
Muffins are one of my favorite things to bake. Need a fast breakfast? Mid afternoon snack? Something sweet before bed? Muffins almost always fit the bill. These strawberry cornmeal muffins are no exception. I could literally eat them at any time of the day.

Servings:
12 muffins
Prep Time:
10 minutes
Cook Time:
20-22 minutes
Total Time:
30-32 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of 1:1 gluten-free baking flour
- 1 cup of gluten-free cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/2 cup of coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
- 1/2 cup of coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 cup dairy-free milk
- 3/4 cup of fresh strawberries, diced
Instructions:
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners or grease with coconut oil, and set aside.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
Step 3:
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and coconut sugar. Once combined, whisk in the honey, egg, vanilla, and dairy free milk, until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
Step 5:
Fill each muffin well to the top and place the muffin pan in the oven for 5 minutes at 400 degrees. After 5 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
Step 6:
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack to cool to room temperature. Enjoy!

- Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- You can freeze the muffins for 3-6 months.
