The Best Ever Gluten-free Cornbread Muffins made with just 7 key ingredients for an easy, delicious and healthy homemade corn muffin recipe!
I flipping love cornbread guys. It is one of those recipes that I crave anytime any day. I used to snag my brother’s corn muffin every single time we went tot his BBQ place growing up. They served the best burgers and fries and they gave us corn muffins with them. And they were so deliciously buttery and good on top.
This recipe is one of my go-to’s when we want to make some but a little healthier. They are made with all gluten-free ingredients. And they can all be made dairy-free too but using oil instead of butter or ghee. I love how easy they come together too and you can easily pop them in the freezer to save them to keep on hand.
I love that these are a crowd favorite for brunch ideas too. You can serve them with your favorite chili or soup recipe. Or with whatever dish you’d like! I love smearing some jam on top with nut butter too for a delicious snack.
Let me know if you guys make these at home! I hope you love them as much as we do.

Hi! Thanks for this recipe! I stirred 1 cup of corn kernels into this recipe at the end, and it was amazing!

LOVE!

Would flax eggs work to substitute out the egg for this recipe?
Jo
So good!! Great flavor and soft bouncy texture. Used masa harina instead of cornmeal. Used apple juice instead of milk.
Rachel
YAY thank you!!!
