Cornmeal Muffins With Blackberry Jam Food

1-BOWL BLACKBERRY CORNMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a standard muffin tin with 10 paper liners, or lightly grease 10 tins and coat with flour (use fewer/more cupcake liners if adjusting the default number of servings). Shake out excess. (I found the butter/flour method to work well!)
• Prepare flax eggs in a large mixing bowl by mixing flaxseed meal and water and let rest for 5 minutes. Also measure out almond milk in a liquid measuring cup and add apple cider vinegar and baking soda. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• To the flax egg, add maple syrup, organic cane sugar, and melted vegan butter (or oil) and whisk vigorously for 1 minute to dissolve sugar.
• Add applesauce and salt and whisk to combine. Then add almond milk mixture and whisk again to combine.
• Add almond meal, cornmeal and flour and whisk until just combined and no large lumps remain. The batter should be quite thick and scoopable. Add blackberries dusted with flour and gently fold into the batter.
• Scoop batter into muffin tins until almost full - there should the perfect amount for 10 (or 11) muffins (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering default number of servings).
• Bake on a center-positioned rack for 25-30 minutes (I found 26 minutes to be perfect) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan (to continue baking/firming up a little). Then loosen with a butter knife and gently lift out. Let cool completely on a plate or cooling rack.
• Will keep covered at room temperature for several days. Freeze for long-term storage (up to 1 month).

CORNMEAL MUFFINS WITH BLACKBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Use muffin liners or parchment squares to line 12 muffin cups. Whisk cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk milk, buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Add cornmeal mixture and stir just until combined. Portion evenly into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 15 minutes or until tops of muffins bounce back when pressed and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove muffins from pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Fit a 1/2-inch tip into a piping bag. Fill with jam. Press the tip into the center of each muffin, squeezing until muffin expands a bit. Lift tip up and out of the muffin.

CORN MUFFINS WITH RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 350°.
• Butter a standard 12-cup muffin tin, coat with nonstick cooking spray, or line with paper liners.
• In a big bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar until it forms a thick slurry.
• In another big bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended.
• One at a time, whisk the milk, then the oil, then the creme fraiche, and finally the butter-sugar slurry into the eggs.
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold carefully just until the dry and wet ingredients are well combined; the batter will be thick and pasty.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into each prepared muffin cup.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon jam on top of the batter in each cup, then top off each cup with another 1/4 cup batter, making sure the cups are evenly filled; they should be filled to the rim.
• Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the edges of each muffin are golden brown and the center springs back when pressed with a fingertip.
• Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then remove the muffins from the pan.
