Corn Muffins (Gluten-free) Submit Your Recipe
 
 
Quinoa is a superfood ... Pre-Columbian Andean civilizations treasured its nutritional values for thousands of years, and today, you can find it on most grocer's shelves. Quinoa has a delightful, nutty flavor. More than that, it contains a balanced set of essential amino acids and its protein content is very high (12%–18%)--it's a remarkably complete protein source, as well as source of dietary fiber, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. Quinoa is gluten-free and for most of us, it's very easy to digest.
 
Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 Tablespoons double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/3 cup Wholesome Sweeteners Fair Trade Organic Amber Honey
6 Tablespoons canola oil, plus a bit more for brushing the muffin tins
1 cup whole organic milk
2 large cage-free eggs

 
Directions :

Preheat oven to 400°. In a medium bowl, sift flours, baking powder and salt.

In another medium bowl, whisk honey and oil until smooth. Whisk in the milk and eggs. Pour milk mixture into cornmeal mixture. Whisk until almost smooth. There might be small lumps; let them stand--if the batter is overbeaten, it can be dense and heavy).

Brush muffin tins with oil, even if using a non-stick pan. Pour batter evenly into tins. Bake for 17 to 20 minutes on the center rack, until the tops are golden and an inserted toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from oven; cool for 5 minutes, then remove from tins. 

Serve warm, with butter and honey, or carrot pumpkin seed spread
