Blue Cornbread Muffins | Easy steps to make Cornbread Muffins at home
No, your eyes don’t deceive you- these cornbread muffins are BLUE. More importantly, they taste wonderful: dense and baked to perfection.
My sweetheart loves cornbread and eats it all the time- breakfast, lunch, dinner, whenever. He brought home blue cornmeal (something I’d never seen before). It’s made by Bob’s Red Mill and can be found in the health food section of major grocery stores. This recipe is slightly adapted from the back of the package. I omitted pine nuts and altered the recipe to make muffins rather than traditional cornbread. I prefer blue cornbread muffins because they’re perfectly portioned and easy to grab on your way out.
My boyfriend told me these are the best cornbread muffins he’s ever had– quite the endorsement! After eating one, he said, “write that recipe down.” If you can’t find blue cornmeal or don’t want to bother, simply make this recipe with regular cornmeal. Enjoy!
