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!

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!

Notes:
  1. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  2. You can freeze the muffins for 3-6 months.
  3. If you don’t have a gluten issue, feel free to use all purpose flour.
  4. Honey can be substituted for maple syrup.
