Banana-Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins image

You can use frozen blueberries in these hearty cornmeal muffins. They're perfectly moist, thanks to the addition of buttermilk, and lightly sweetened with a touch of brown-rice syrup in the batter and a sprinkling of sanding sugar on top just before baking.

Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone ground
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (from 3 large bananas)
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon brown-rice syrup or honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 1/2 teaspoons sanding sugar or granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a standard (12-cup) muffin tin with paper liners; coat liners with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 cup flour. In a large bowl, stir together bananas, buttermilk, rice syrup or honey, lemon juice, egg, and vanilla. Fold cornmeal mixture into banana mixture just until combined. Toss blueberries with remaining 2 teaspoons flour, and gently fold into batter.
  • Spoon batter into prepared tin, filling to the brims. Sprinkle each muffin with sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center of 1 comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
