Who doesn’t love a one-bowl wonder? I am all about baking from scratch but with less mess and less cleanup. Definitely give these muffins a try as they will warm your soul.

With fall starting in Canada, this is one of my favorite muffins / breads to bake. I like to bake it up as either a muffin – perfect individual portions, or in a cast iron skillet – ready to be scooped out.

I love that tiny hint of sweetness that makes this the perfect side to a bowl of spicy chili. Get ready sweater weather!

Cornmeal Muffins

 

  • 1 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup  spelt flour (you can substitute with whole wheat or all purpose flour)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp  sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup full fat milk (skim will also do)
  • 1 tbsp  lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup  butter (melted)
  • 1/3 cup  honey
  • 2 large  eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 180C (355F).

  2. Melt the butter in the bowl in either microwave or stove top depending on what type of bowl you use.

  3. Stir in the honey, milk and lemon juice.

  4. By now the liquid should have cooled so you can whisk in the eggs.

  5. Add each of the dry ingredients one by one. If you used salted butter (which I normally do), just omit the teaspoon of salt from the recipe.

  6. Stir the mixture just until everything is well combined.

  7. Fold in the jalapeños if you’re looking for a little extra kick.

  8. Spray a muffin tin or 8” cast iron pan well and pour batter in.

  9. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

  10. Serve warm out of the oven with some butter and chili or just as is.

  11. These are also great to double the batch and then freeze and warm up before eating.
