Ingredients

  • Dry ingredients
  • 1 ⅓ cup (126g) oat flour, gluten-free if desired
  • 1 cup (152g) gluten-free medium grind cornmeal (I use bob’s red mill)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Wet ingredients
  • 1 cup (240g) unsweetened almond milk (can use vanilla almond milk if you like sweeter cornbread, or any milk you'd like)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup (84g) honey
  • ¼ cup (57g) butter, melted and cooled (or use vegan butter)

Instructions

  • Prep your pan: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin generously with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners. I always spray the inside of the liners to ensure the muffins do not stick!
  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: cornmeal, oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix together the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, eggs, and honey. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir with a spoon until just combined. Finally, stir in the melted butter. Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin liners.
  • Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Serve warm with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey! Makes 12 muffins.

Notes

To make these dairy-free: use a dairy-free milk and vegan butter instead of regular butter.
Freeze these muffins: allow them to cool completely, then put them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Once ready to reheat, you can thaw at room temperature or heat up in the microwave in 30-second intervals.
