These muffins are a great way to enjoy the taste and texture of cornbread without all the fat and calories. Very easy to make and delicious with my Veggie Crock Pot Chili or White Bean Chili. See Notes for the gluten-free option.

Recipe Notes
Gluten-free option: use an all-purpose gluten-free flour in place of the whole wheat (I like Trader Joe's), 1/8 tsp xanthan gum added to dry ingredients, and 2 tsp apple cider vinegar and 2 tsp olive oil added to wet. I don't usually cook with oil but this small amount seems to help make these muffins moist and not seem like they are gluten-free (let's be real here - a lot of g/f baked goods are just bad). You can leave it out, the muffins will be fine, but I prefer to use it.

By 6 servings do you mean 6 muffins? Or does this make a dozen and a serving is 2 muffins?
6 muffins. Sorry for the delayed response – I didn’t get notified for some reason.
If the corn is omitted will the muffins cook up the same?
Yes, they cook up the same. 🙂
