Savory Cornmeal Muffins

Image preview
The two months leading up to Christmas were busy ones with making extra cookies for catering events and specialty pastries for the Deli. Now I can relax and go back to finding different recipes and adding them to the Deli baked goods menu.

Yesterday, I pulled out my recipe for Cornmeal Muffins. This one called for chopped red peppers, green peppers, and onions. I decided to try out the recipe before doubling it to see how the muffins would sell at the Deli.

I chopped and sautéed the peppers and onions, until they were tender. Then I melted butter and added it to a bowl with milk and eggs and mixed it. In another bowl, I measured out the dry ingredients and whisked them: cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. I added the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mixed it well, and folded in the peppers and onions. I filled 12 muffin cups, baked them in the oven for 20 minutes until they were golden brown.

The muffins were perfect…nicely golden brown and the red and green peppers added to the muffin. The savory Cornmeal Muffins will make a tempting invite for the customers who are tired of the usual holiday sweet treats!
