    How to make polenta muffins?

    Polenta muffins are a mini portioned cornbread. They are perfect grab-and-go, perfect for breakfast, and pairs well with soups like my Coconut lentil soup, Lentil spinach soup, salads, Tofu scramble. However, they are also delicious on their own.

    The process of making this polenta muffin bread is simple and preparation takes only 5 minutes. First step is mixing all the dry ingredients (polenta, all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder) in a mixing bowl.

    The next step is adding oil, stirring all together, and then adding water and stirring again until all is combined.

    Grease the maffin pan and pour your mixture into a pan. Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 40 minutes.

    To make sure your polenta muffins are ready, use a toothpick to test. Insert the toothpick in the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, they are ready.

    Let the muffins cool a bit before eating.

      I really want to try this recipe but I can not find sunflower oil at my local grocery store. I have avocado oil or olive oil. Can I substitute with them?

        I have never used avocado oil so I can't answer for that. But I´ll recommend using any neutral tasting oil for this recipe, like grapeseed or canola oil. Olive oil might work if it´s light olive oil and hopefully, it won't have a large effect on the overall recipe.

      Thank you for this recipe. I have just tried it and it worked out very well. I have added one tablespoon of flaxseed to have some fiber and good fat. I think next time I would cut a bit of salt and sunflower oil. Unfortunately I can't post the picture of those muffins I made.

        I used gluten free flour and they are surprisingly good! Texture is a big thing for me and this is pretty decent.

      What type of polenta did you use? I use Italian instant polenta, would that work?

      These are delicious! How long (and how) do you store them? Have you tried freezing?
