This is the last corn bread recipe you will ever need or want to make. These muffins (or small loaves) are moist, maple-y, and delicious. They are naturally gluten-free, and may be made diary-free as well with the substitution of almond milk and elmination of the butter glaze. These are healthful muffins, made with brown rice flour, and are free of refined sugars.
The muffins go great with chili, or even sliced and topped with honey. The glaze on these muffins is a wonderful addition, but not necessary. They are great on their own as a snack, or even as part of a healthy breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups brown rice flour
• 2 cups cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 cups skim milk, or almond milk
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup butter

Directions:

Heat oven to 425° F. Grease a mini muffin pan, mini loaf pan, or 9x13in baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the milk, eggs, 1/2 cup of the maple syrup, and extra virgin olive oil (if using); whisk together the wet ingredients, then incorporate the dry ingredients until just combined (do not overmix). Batter may be frothy, this is okay.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes for tiny muffins, and 15-20 for large muffins or loaves.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the butter and ¼ cup of maple syrup. After removing the corn bread from oven, brush with the butter mixture. Cool completely in the pan, then remove.

Notes:

I have made this bread without the addition of olive oil (oops) and it turned out delicious and more maple-y tasting - not too dry.
Baking times may vary depending on your oven and climate, so keep an eye on the muffins after about 10 minutes.

This bread is chewy, flavorful, and has a soft crust. It holds together well and makes the perfect sandwich, though it is also delicious on its own. It is a healthful bread, as it is made with brown rice flour and does not have any added refined sugar. It is naturally gluten-free and delicious, though not dairy-free due to the addition of nonfat dry milk. This bread recipe is also quite versitile. You may substitute different flours and sweeteners to suit your tastes and make it your own. Though I haven't tried it, I imagine this bread would also be great for french toast and to make bread crumbs or stuffing. Enjoy!

These are the best muffins you will ever eat. They are healthful, using brown rice flour, and do not contain refined sugar. They are naturally gluten-free, dairy free (if chocolate chips are not used), and nut-free (if chopped nuts are not used). The texture is moist and not too dense. The muffins are good for about a week stored at room temperature in an air-tight container. Please experiment with this recipe and the mix-ins to suit your tastes!

Problems start when gluten enters your small intestine. To the gluten intolerant, gluten can wreak havoc on your wellbeing by ripping holes inside the lining of your system. This could create leaky gut syndrome and pretty serious allergies out of your immune system.

Be careful to neither over-bake nor under-bake your cake! The times that they recommend for cake baking can be wrong due to several factors. Insert a toothpick into the cake's middle. If it comes out clean, the cake is done; if batter comes out with it, the cake needs to be baked longer.
