Very Berry Honey Cornmeal Muffins
Here you have it, another cornmeal recipe….. I am on a roll right?
I am determined to get rid of the cornmeal soon, maybe not at once, but soon. I think between the Honey and orange cornmeal cake I made the other day and these muffins I think I will be able to finish it quite fast. I just don’t want to forget that I have it or for it to get spoiled!
This recipe, again, turned out much better than anticipated. The berries were awesome, the honey gave them a distinctive flavor and they weren’t powerfully sweet.
You can leave the cornmeal out if you prefer and just do all whole wheat pastry flour. You can also use other fruits of your choice like cranberries. I think that will also work very well.
Enjoy!
Batter is ready to be divided between the cupcake liners. A very easy batter I must add!!
After exactly 27 minutes I got them out of the oven and allowed them to cool on a wire rack.
Here you can appreciate the goodness of the berries inside the muffins. Just superb!!
