QB asked if I could make him some cornmeal muffins after he saw some cornbread somewhere – I forget where. I figured I’d give it a go. The result was good enough to be post-able. QB said he would like them to be a little moister, but he says some people like drier muffins, so I should post the recipe anyway. I will likely modify this slightly the next time I make them, so I will update once I have the final winner.

*Note* After reheating these in teh microwave, QB says the texture is strange. So, the next batch will be a little different. Just wanted to give y’all a heads up. 

Update 2: I cut these in half and heated them in the toaster over just until they were nice and warm. QB said the texture was fine when heated this way. 

 Gluten Free Cornmeal Muffins (21 mini muffins)

300g Organic Cornmeal
60g Tapioca Starch
3 Eggs
120g Kefir
100g Coconut Milk (full fat)
1 tsp Baking Powder – Al Free
3 tsp Stevia (just add some sugar sub for a little sweetness)

Preheat over to 350F. Mix all in a large bowl, and them spoon into muffin pan. My mini muffin pan may be slightly larger than the usual muffin pan, so I will say this recipe makes approximately 21 mini-muffins.

QB says these are wonderful with a little smart balance (we don’t buy butter).
