Whole kernel corn adds texture, flavor and moistness to ordinary cornmeal muffins. Add to that sharp cheddar cheese, green chiles plus your choice and amount of "heat" seasoning and you've a nice accompaniment to a bowl of beans, chili, or southwestern soup.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or use white whole wheat or part whole wheat)
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or substitute desired “heat” using Tabasco Sauce, red pepper flakes or small amount minced jalapeno pepper)
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 7/8 cup milk (3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons)
- 1/3 cup cooking oil
- 1 can (8 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained (or substitute equivalent amount frozen whole corn, cooked and drained)
- 1 can (4.5 ounces) diced green chiles, drained
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable spray or line with paper liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and cheese. In a smaller bowl, lightly beat the egg; add the milk, oil, corn, and chiles, and mix together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full of batter (My batch had enough extra batter for 2 more muffins.)
- Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of muffin comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and continue cooling on the rack.
