A moist and tender gluten-free cornbread muffin made with almond flour, perfect for pairing with chili or brunch. This easy recipe delivers a golden crust and a subtle nutty flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) yellow or white cornmeal, medium grind
  • 1 cup (96g) blanched almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (180ml) dairy or unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin thoroughly or line with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (120g) cornmeal, 1 cup (96g) almond flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until frothy. Add ¾ cup (180ml) milk, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, ¼ cup (57g) melted butter (cooled slightly), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir gently with a spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  5. Spoon batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling about ⅔ full. Smooth tops slightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Start checking at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they’re ready.
  7. Remove muffins from the oven and let them sit in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better rise. Tent with foil if tops brown too fast. Toast cornmeal lightly for enhanced flavor. For dairy-free, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
