Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup milk (plain unsweetened, if using nondairy)
  • cup maple syrup
  • cup canola oil (or melted and slightly cooled butter)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin. (I use Classic Pam.)
  • Stir together all ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Portion a heaping 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared cup and bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Store fully cooled muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and heat for 15 seconds in the microwave before serving.
  • To make full-size muffins, bake for 16-18 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly.
  • Gluten-free: Use cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend.
  • Dairy-free: Use nondairy milk.
  • Stir the ingredients together gently.
  • Make them mini or full size, depending on your preference.
  • Serve with soups, stews, chili, eggs, or as a component at snack time.
  • Top with butter, honey, or apple butter if desired. Dice into smaller pieces for younger toddlers.
