INGREDIENTS
75g fine cornmeal
125g plain flour
1 tsp fine sea salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
100g unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp honey
2 large eggs
75g cheddar, grated plus extra for topping
50g pickled jalapeños, plus extra for topping
6 tbsp Lizi’s Low Sugar Granola
METHOD (TO SERVE 6)
- Preheat the oven to 180C (160C Fan) and place 6 tulip muffin cases into a muffin pan.
- Add the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder and paprika to a large bowl and whisk together to combine. In a jug whisk together the butter, honey and eggs. Make a well in the dry goods and pour in the butter mixture and the cheddar and jalapeños.
- Use a spatula to fold together just until a thick uniform batter is formed. Scoop the batter into the prepared tulip cases and top with another jalapeño, a little extra grated cheddar and a tablespoon of Lizi’s Low Sugar Granola.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the muffins are lightly browned and spring back to a light touch. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly before serving.
- Cornbread is best served warm on the day made. Leftovers can be split in half, toasted under the grill and served with a little salted butter. Enjoy!
