Lemon Berry Corn Meal Muffins

Step 1

Prep oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).

Step 2

Mix dry ingredients: Mix dry ingredients by adding all-purpose flour, corn flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Mix wet ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together wet ingredients including eggs, oil, milk, vanilla, and lemon juice until well combined.

Step 4

Combine wet + dry ingredients: Add wet ingredients mixture to dry ingredients and stir well to combine. Cornbread muffin batter should be thoroughly mixed without clumps, but should still have a thick consistency. Finally, fold mixed berries into batter.

Step 5

Bake the muffins: Fill muffin tin ⅔ way with muffin batter (you should have enough for 10-12 muffins). Top the batter with a pinch of brown sugar and lemon zest, and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a light golden brown color and a toothpick comes out clean from muffins.

Step 6

Let cool + serve: Remove muffins from the oven. Let them cool for five minutes in the muffin tin and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack!
