BLUEBERRY CORNBREAD MUFFINS



Blueberry Cornbread Muffins image

Cornbread makes a perfect backdrop for blueberries, which burst as they bake, creating little pockets of juice that keep the muffins tender.

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

¾ cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice (see note)
1½ cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
½ cup yellow cornmeal
¾ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries (see note)
2 large eggs
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1½ teaspoons)
1 stick unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners (don't skip the liners or the blueberries will stick to the pan).
  • Combine the milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Place the blueberries in a small bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of the flour mixture. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk/lemon mixture, vanilla and lemon zest. Add to the dry ingredients, along with the melted butter. Stir until just blended; and then stir in the blueberries. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup very full. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are set and golden around the edges. Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan, then serve warm with butter or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Notes:Be sure to zest the lemon before juicing it. Don't be tempted to increase the blueberries: one cup is just the right amount -- if you jam-pack the muffins with berries, they'll be too tart and wet.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK CORN MUFFINS



Blueberry Buttermilk Corn Muffins image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon
1 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal (about 7 ounces)
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries (7 to 8 ounces; do not thaw)

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla to blend. Combine 1 1/3 cups of the flour, the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a processor, about 30 seconds. Drop in the cold butter cubes. Using on/off turns, blend until the butter is cut in finely and the mixture resembles a coarse meal, stopping occasionally to check the size of the butter pieces, (they should be the size of rice kernels). Pour the dry ingredients over the buttermilk mixture. Using a thin, flexible spatula and a few quick strokes, fold the batter together, turning the bowl as you fold.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and the frozen blueberries. Toss to coat the berries. Scatter the berries over the batter and fold in.
  • Using a rounded 1/3 cup of batter for each muffin, fill the paper liners, mounding the batter in the center. Use a knife tip or spoon to reposition at least 1 berry so it is showing on top.
  • Bake the muffins until puffed and browning at edges, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins stand 5 to 10 minutes. Twist each muffin in place to loosen the edges from the pan. Lift the muffins out onto a rack and cool.

DELICIOUS GLUTEN-FREE BLUEBERRY CORN MUFFINS



Delicious Gluten-Free Blueberry Corn Muffins image

After I was diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity, I played around with various recipes so that I could not only eat food that worked with my system, but also enjoy it. I love this blueberry muffin almost as much as the original, all-purpose flour version, and the rest of my family can enjoy it too without feeling like it's a sacrifice. I generally use brown rice flour, but white rice flour may yield a fluffier muffin. I personally like the texture the cornmeal adds, but for a more traditional muffin, feel free to do all rice flour (maybe half brown, half white).

Apple blueberry corn muffins are the perfect breakfast or snack for those who appreciate a combination of fruits and savory flavors. The use of cornmeal in the muffins makes them unique and adds a rich texture to the muffins. Following valuable tips when making apple blueberry corn muffins will help you get the perfect muffins that have the right texture, flavor, and sweetness.

1. Choosing the Right Apples

When preparing the apple blueberry corn muffin recipes, you need to ensure that you choose the right apples. Ensure that you choose apples that are firm and crisp such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. Avoid using mushy apples as they will not give the desired texture to the muffins.
Tips:
  • Peel and core the apples before chopping them into small chunks.
  • Sprinkle some lemon juice over the chopped apples to prevent them from browning before adding them to the muffin batter.

2. Using Fresh Blueberries

Blueberries are a great addition to apple corn muffins. They give a sweet and tart flavor that complements the cornmeal in the muffins. When using blueberries, ensure that you use fresh blueberries instead of frozen blueberries. Frozen berries tend to release a lot of moisture and tend to sink to the bottom of the muffins.
Tips:
  • Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the muffin batter.
  • Coat the blueberries with some cornstarch to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

3. Using the Right Flour

The type of flour used in making the apple blueberry corn muffins will determine the texture of the muffins. It is recommended to use all-purpose flour or a combination of all-purpose flour and cornmeal to achieve a fluffy texture. Cornmeal is used to give the muffins a unique flavor and a grittier texture.
Tips:
  • To make the muffins more nutritious, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • You can also use gluten-free flour if you are allergic to gluten.

4. Adjusting Ingredients to Achieve the Desired Sweetness

Apple blueberry corn muffins should have a balance between sweet and savory flavors. The sweetness of the muffins depends on the type of apples used and the amount of sugar added. Adjusting the ingredients used can help achieve the desired level of sweetness.
Tips:
  • Use brown sugar instead of white sugar to give the muffins a richer flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar used according to the sweetness of the apples.
  • You can also add honey or maple syrup to the batter as a natural sweetener.

5. Adding the Wet Ingredients to the Dry Ingredients Gradually

When making muffins, it is essential to mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients gradually. This helps to ensure that the batter is not too thick or too runny. The batter should be just enough to fill the muffin cups up to ¾ full.
Tips:
  • Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry ingredients in another bowl before combining them.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients gradually while mixing the batter to avoid lumps.
  • If the batter is too thick, add some milk or buttermilk to loosen it up.

6. Preparing the Muffin Pan

It is recommended to use a muffin pan when making apple blueberry corn muffins. Preparing the muffin pan is essential to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan and falling apart. You can either use a non-stick muffin pan or line the muffin cups with paper liners.
Tips:
  • Grease the muffin cups with some cooking spray or butter if you are not using paper liners.
  • If using paper liners, ensure that they are of good quality to prevent the muffins from sticking to the liners.

7. Baking the Muffins

Baking the apple blueberry corn muffins requires the right temperature and time to achieve the desired texture and golden brown color. You need to preheat the oven to the recommended temperature before baking the muffins.
Tips:
  • Bake the muffins at an oven temperature of 375°F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Do not overbake the muffins as they will become dry and hard.

Conclusion

The above tips are valuable when making apple blueberry corn muffins. Follow the tips accordingly to get the perfect muffins with the desired texture, flavor, and sweetness. Creative bakers can modify the recipe to suit their taste preferences and come up with unique muffins. Be sure to experiment and have fun when making these delicious muffins.
