Orange Maple Yam Corn Muffins (gluten-free)

Mouthwateringly cute with a sprinkling of buttery pecans

I got the idea for these from a recipe the HeartMath kitchen used to make years ago. Thinly sliced yams tossed with melted butter, orange juice and maple syrup, baked until the juices caramelized in the most unbelievable way. My mouth is literally watering just thinking about that dish! So I thought, I should make that into a muffin! Et voilà!

Gluten-Free Corn Muffins & Cornbread


Another wonderful recipe from Pamela's Products, with some adjustments to make them extra delicious. Soft, tender and fluffy on the inside with a wonderful golden crunch on top. These disappear quickly so you may want to make a double batch ;-)

 
Makes 12 muffins

1 1/4 cup Pamela's Baking Mix
1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup raw honey
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 extra large eggs, beaten
1 cup milk

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 
2 Tbsp butter, melted

Muffins: 
Grease or line a standard-size muffin tin and preheat oven to 350°. Stir vinegar into milk and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir honey into hot butter and set aside. Mix remaining ingredients together, including milk, then add honey-butter. Fill prepared muffin tin 3/4 full and bake for 20-25 minutes, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm with butter and, most of all, ENJOY!
Cornbread: 
Follow directions above. Pour into a well-greased 8-inch square baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.


Tip:
  • As with most GF baked goods, these muffins don't love the fridge - they dry out and get hard. And while you can soften them back up by wrapping in a damp paper towel and microwaving for a few seconds, they won't be the same wonderful texture they were before. So, I'd recommend storing them in an airtight tupperware at room temperature for a few days and then if there are any left, freeze them. Either defrost them at room temp overnight or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave on low, then crisp up the tops in the toaster oven.
