These corn muffins and mini cornbreads are SO moist, so flavorful, all with a beautiful golden exterior, and a fine crumb. The update that my corn muffins from 2021 needed. Made with vegan "buttermilk," chickpea flour, flax meal, psyllium husk powder, & fruit "sugars," these corn muffins are actually clean and nutritious, no vegan or dairy butter in sight! And they taste like a traditional cornbread recipe with these healthier ingredients. What's more, these corn muffins can be made into muffins or mini cornbread loaves, and there are 3 options for the flavor profile: savory, sweet, or neutral. So you can have them your way! And- as always- these muffins/breads are vegan, gluten-free, and fruit-sweetened (+ high in protein + nut-free + low-fat!). This cornbread gives all the fall feels. Happy Autumn. It's Fall Y'all. P.S. These muffins/cornbreads would pair perfectly with my Veggie Velvet Soup, go check it out!
It's COHRN... bread! The Corn Kid is truly a legend. And what better a time to introduce the 2.0, the upgrade- if you will- of my classic corn muffins recipe since the "It's Corn" song has entered our lives?
But all silliness aside, these corn muffins/cornbreads are all the rage. For the sake of not oscillating between the words "cornbread" and "corn muffins," I will just refer to this recipe as "cornbread."
It's srsly so moist, with a nice tang from the vegan "buttermilk," a corn-forward flavor, and just enough sweetness (w/o being overpowering).
And it's vegan, GF, and fruit-sweetened, as per usual. All the goodnesses. PLUS they're super moist & fluffy, yet they have substance.
Honestly this is the best upgrade my vegan/GF corn muffins could've possibly gotten. As mentioned, this recipe can be made into corn muffins, mini corn muffins, and/or mini cornbread loaves.
And there are 3 flavor options for the recipe: sweet, neutral, or savory. And there are plenty of mix-and-match options, so this recipe is really customizable.
Substitutions in These Healthy Cornbread/Muffins
Yellow cornmeal
Coarse, fine, or medium grind cornmeal all work! You can also sub cornflour instead of the cornmeal. Just make sure whatever you choose, it's gluten-free. You can also use blue cornmeal instead of the yellow. I don't recommend using masa harina or corn grits/polenta instead of the cornmeal/cornflour ONLY because I haven't tried these Healthy Cornbread/Muffins with either of those, and they are quite a different texture which = a very different degree of absorbing the liquid in this recipe. You can't exactly swap out the cornmeal entirely, but for a corn-free option (even tho the point is cornmeal because corn muffins), you can try almond meal HOWEVER this will affect the texture and you *may* need to add additional tapioca starch to make it work. But if you can on your diet, I highly recommend that you try to use the cornmeal/flour. *Important note: Corn starch WILL NOT work in place of the cornmeal/cornflour, they are COMPLETELY different products
