Strawberry Cornmeal Mini Muffin


I really wish I could come up with an explanation. However, besides coincidence, I can’t think of any reason why I bake with strawberry AGAIN!!!

Probably because Ethan was crazy picking strawberries and put them right in his mouth at my mom-in-law’s back yard. And all he wants to eat now is strawberry. Usually I act real quick responding his interest to eat, because it won’t last.

Ingredients (24 mini muffins):

1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup chopped strawberries

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease mini muffin tin or line with muffin liners.

In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Add beaten egg, oil and milk. Stir until just combined.

Reserve some strawberries for garnish on top. Gently fold in remaining strawberries in the batter.

Spoon batter into the muffin tin. Garnish with a few berries on top. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly golden on top.

    I’m jealous. The birds, once again, got to my strawberries before I managed to put the netting up. Lovely recipe.

    Brilliant! Cornmeal and strawberries were meant-to-be! I use cornmeal in my shortcakes!

    What a great combo. Did it more taste like a corn muffin with a strawberries or a strawberry with a hint of corn?
