I like to eat muffins for breakfast. I used to buy those pouch type muffin mixes with the imitation fruit bits in them because they were so easy and quick to make. My family ate lots of those muffins for breakfast over the years. But since we started eating gluten free, I have not been able to just grab a quick mix and whip up a batch of muffins. Until now.
In the box of goodies I received from Mixes From The Heartland, there was a package of Corn-N-Cranberry Muffin mix. We had them for breakfast this morning. They are very easy to mix up, and bake up golden brown in about 20 minutes.
They have a lot more eggs than I am used to using in a quick mix, but I followed the directions on the back of the package for this trial: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add 5 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk and the bag of dry mix. Mix well. Place in greased or paper lined muffin pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Adding a cup of creamed corn is listed as an option, but I did not add it. I used corn oil and buttermilk in mine.
The muffins baked up beautifully. They have tart dried cranberries in them, that add a nice flavor to the finished product. They were not crumbly or dry, and tasted very good. The only thing I would add in the future would be a little sugar, as I like my muffins sweet. If I were to make this as a dinner cornbread, then it has just the right sweetness. The package makes about 18 medium sized muffins.
Ingredients: Cornmeal (Non GMO), white and brown organic rice flour, freeze dried cranberries, sugar, cornstarch (Non GMO), tapioca flour, xanthan gum, non aluminum baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
A 13.6 oz package costs $6.99 and can be ordered online at Mixes From The Heartland.
