Delicious, savory, and moist cornmeal muffins. Serve with a hearty stew or chili, such as Winter Chili with Collard Greens. Adapted from Moosewood Restaurant New Classics.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by coating the cups with cooking spray or lining them with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir in the cheese. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir in the oil, milk, and green chilies.
  3. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture. Stir just to combine without over mixing.
  4. Spoon about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup.
