Cornbread muffins



Saw this recipe online and thought I'd give it a try.  It was great as a muffin rather than a quick bread, toasted with some Bon Maman raspberry jam.

Banana Walnut Honey Corn Muffins with Walnuts

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour

  • 1 overripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk milk
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or melted butter
  • 1 can of corn
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Method:

Preheat oven to 400, paper a 12-cup muffin tin.  Mix cornmeal, flours, b powder, and salt in small bowl, set aside.  In larger bowl mash the banana and add honey, eggs, milk, and oil and mix til combined.  Add to flour mixture and mix just til dry is incorporated.  Add corn and nuts and mix a few more times, don't over-mix batter or you will deflate it.  Pop in the oven for 15 minutes and then add time in 3 minute increments until the center is set.
