Sweet Corn Muffins (dairy-free)

Jump to Recipe

These easy Sweet Corn Muffins whip up quickly and pair perfectly with your weeknight chili! Top them with butter and honey or crumble them right into your favorite bowl of soup!

Sweet Corn Muffins

Honestly, these corn muffins are a couple of years in the making. We eat a lot of chili around here (hello, cheap and easy!) and every now and then, when I’m not dipping tortilla chips into my bowl, I like to whip up a new version of dairy-free cornbread. A few weeks ago, I finally decided to get serious about nailing down a tried and true recipe. These corn muffins are sweet (without feeling like I’m feeding my kids cupcakes in disguise), soft, and just the right kind of crumbly. They’re robust enough to slice and slather with your favorite butter and honey, but if crumbling is more your thing, then get to it, because these corn muffins are perfect for that, too!

Best of all? They’re made with staple pantry ingredients! As long as you keep cornmeal stocked in your pantry, then you’re probably all set to whip these up as a last minute accompaniment to your favorite hot bowl of chili or soup. Yes, even on a weeknight, because if you’re willing to make cornbread from a box (which still takes effort!), you’ll only need to take things one step further for these perfectly moist, homemade muffins!

The Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Cornmeal
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Sugar – I like to use raw cane sugar
  • Egg – I haven’t tested a vegan egg-replacer yet
  • Oil or Melted Plant-Based Butter
  • Plant-Based Milk – I’ve used oat and almond milk
  • Whole Kernel Corn – optional, but I love it in these!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups cornmeal
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raw cane sugar (or regular cane sugar)

The sun is shining and spring is on the way (pleassse let there be no more snow) but Guinevere and I are still in the mood for homemade hot cocoa ☺️☕️✨ With only 4 ingredients, my go-to recipe takes only a few minutes. And you can customize it with your favorite milk (I prefer oat milk)! I sweeten mine with agave, but regular sugar will work as well - just sweeten it to taste 🤎
Behind the scenes of every batch of cookies and nearly every photo shoot is at least one of my babies asking me for a snack, climbing up my leg (hi, Isaiah), or poking around my set 🥴😅 Parenthood is chaotic. So cheers to all the moms and dads who spend their free time pursuing other ambitions. I see y’all. 🍻
@foodtographyschool starts in TWO days!! Eek! 🙌🏼 If you’re looking to improve your food photography and styling + you’re ready to turn your photography into a business, then you will absolutely benefit from the Foodtography course!
Pillowy soft Lofthouse-style Sugar Cookies with Strawberry Frosting 🍓✨ For maximum softness, bake these up the day before, store them in an airtight container, and then frost them! If you like Lofthouse cookies, you will love these! ❤️
I baked up a batch of my Tahini Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies this morning and got a little carried away testing out different sizes (and rolling some in sesame seeds!) 😅 I LOVE the way the variety looks in this shot and I can’t wait to bake these again and update my old blog photos soon 📸 You can find the recipe, along with the original iPhone photos, on the blog!
You don’t need a fancy set up to take beautiful food photos ✨ Good lighting, scrumptious food, and a little (okay, A LOT) of editing go a long way. I didn’t even have a DSLR until 2019 - I shot with an iPhone and STILL landed paid clients and had my photos featured on large accounts (like @food52). My two biggest pieces of advice?
Photographer friends! Are you signed up for the free @foodtographyschool master class today? I want to know! I chose to dive in and take my photography more seriously (goodbye, iPhone photos 👋🏼) after taking TWO of Sarah’s master classes back in 2019 - I clearly couldn’t get enough 😅 I was totally hooked and knew after the master classes that taking the @foodtography course would help me tremendously. And it did!
