These Savory Gluten Free Cornbread Muffins, filled with robust corn meal flavor, make a hearty side dish for your favorite chili, soup, or stew.  These sturdy corn muffins are perfect for soaking up all the tasty goodness of your main dish.

Savory Gluten Free Cornbread Muffins

Previously when I shared my recipe for easy sweet cornbread muffins, I mentioned I'd be sharing this recipe for savory cornbread muffins at a later date.  It took me longer than I thought it would, but I finally had a chance to get this recipe posted.

These savory cornbread muffins require a few more ingredients, and also take a little longer to prepare than the sweet corn muffins.  If you want quick, light, and fluffy, this recipe isn't for you.  But, if you prefer a more substantial muffin, and have a few extra minutes available for the prep, you'll want to give this savory version a try.

Similar to the prep for most muffins, you start by combining almost all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisking them together.  Then you cook ½ cup of the corn meal with the milk in the microwave (or on your stovetop, if you don't have a microwave) until it thickens.

Once the corn meal has thickened you add the sour cream, melted butter, and sugar and whisk together.  Then you'll whisk in the eggs until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir together until completely combined.  (Note:  You don't have to worry about over mixing the batter.)  Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups and bake for 15 to 18 minutes in a 425-degree oven.

Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack.  These cornbread muffins can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

The generous amount of corn meal, mixed with the gluten free flour, gives these savory gluten free cornbread muffins a hardy appearance.  Rather than muffin tops that are perfectly round and smooth, these have a more uneven, rustic look.

I like to serve these muffins with slow cooker chicken and corn chowder.

If you're looking for a hearty side dish to serve with your favorite chili, soup, or stew, give these savory cornbread muffins a try.  Enjoy!

  • In a medium microwave-safe mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining ½ cup cornmeal and the milk.  Microwave on high for 90 seconds and whisk thoroughly.  Continue microwaving on high for another 1 - 3 minutes, whisking every 30 seconds until the mixture starts to thicken
