How to Make Gluten Free Cornmeal Muffins

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup gluten-free cornmeal and 1 cup milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then let stand for 5 minutes to soften the cornmeal.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon of your favorite spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice are great options).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  5. Add the wet ingredients (egg and oil mixture) to the softened cornmeal mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
