These gluten-free cornbread muffins are moist, tender, and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for a comforting side or snack with a delicate crumb and subtle sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free cornmeal (120g), medium grind
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (90g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional but recommended)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240ml) or dairy-free milk with 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (60g), melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin well or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until slightly frothy. Add buttermilk, melted and cooled butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to prevent sogginess.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Melted butter should be cooled before mixing to avoid cooking eggs. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender. If kitchen is humid, add an extra tablespoon of gluten-free flour. Muffins freeze well; reheat in toaster or oven. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and buttermilk with almond or oat milk plus vinegar.
