I wanted to make sweet potato cornbread, but I was out of sweet potatoes, so I decided to make a quick and easy batch of mini cornbread muffins to go with my 45 min healthy chili. This is super easy to make, but very healthy: using only wholegrain flours, less wheat (i.e. less gluten), barely any sugar and healthy fat (i.e. olive oil). It is also dairy-free!
This easy from-scratch recipe for classic corn bread muffins is one you’ll make time and time again. These yummies can be out of your oven and on your table by the time your chili is ready and they taste like good ol’ fashioned cornbread.
