Gluten Free Cornmeal Raspberry Muffins
These are a variation of my basic cornbread recipe. You need gluten free recipes that work, and then lots of ways to vary them for year round enjoyment.
Servings 12 muffins
Calories 197kcal
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ¾ cup corn flour* (or EGFG gluten free flour blend)
- ½ cup tapioca starch* (or EGFG gluten free flour blend)
- 6 tablespoon sugar
- 1½ tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk (I use 1% or 2%)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest
- 1½ cups raspberries, blueberries or a combination
Optional Finishing
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ¼ cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line muffin pan with 12 paper or silicone liners if desired.
Dry Ingredients
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
Wet Ingredients
- Combine wet ingredients in a large bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until frothy, about 1 minute.
- With mixer running slowly add dry ingredients to wet. When combined increase speed to high and mix for 1 minute.
- Gently fold in raspberries.
- Use a portion scoop to fill muffin pan. Bake 20-25 minutes until slightly golden around the edges. Cool in pan for 2 minutes then transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
Optional Sugar Topping
- If finishing with butter/sugar topping this step can be done when the muffins are still warm. Hold a muffin upside down and dip the top in melted butter. Next roll the muffin top in sugar. Place upright on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in airtight container or freeze.
Notes
*This recipe is rice-free yet gluten free corn flour is sometimes difficult to find. If I don't have it I simply substitute my EGFG gluten free flour blend for the combined amount of corn flour and tapioca starch.
