All-Purpose Flour– gives structure to these yummy cornmeal muffins!
Yellow Cornmeal – essential for the classic cornbread texture and color! Don’t use white cornmeal or cornmeal mix. They’re not the same!
Cornstarch– helps keep these fluffy and delicious!
Granulated Sugar– this adds sweetness and yummy flavor to this dish!
Salt– I say this all the time, but salt is the most under-rated ingredient when it comes to baked goods! You don’t notice if it’s there but you 1000 percent notice if it’s gone! The flavor salt provides is unmistakable!
Baking powder– there’s a lot of baking powder in this recipe to help compensate for some of the structure lost without the eggs!
Cow’s Milk– provides moistness and flavor to these cornmeal muffins without eggs!
Neutral Oil (vegetable oil, melted coconut oil, canola oil, etc)– makes this dish so moist and delicious!
