Simple Corn Muffins

[natalicous]

These muffins were moist and delicious!  However, I made some substitutions: I used virgin coconut oil instead of canola; I used maple syrup instead of sugar, and I used one little grated apple plus a can of corn!  yum

these were very good...they were much more moist than my cornbread usually turns out. I halved the recipe and it made 6 regular muffins. I didn't have any apples so I used 1/2 c pumpkin instead (which made them orange but didn't change the flavor), and I replaced most of the oil with applesauce. Also, since I didn't use apples I put in a little extra sugar. I ate two as soon as they came out of the oven and they were delicious.

I baked this as a cornbread instead. It had great texture, but was missing something in the flavor department. Not much, just... something. Oh well, everyone seemed to like it. I baked it in an iron skillet! My first time ever a) making cornbread and b) baking in a cast-iron skillet. So far so good!

I added a 1/4 cup of sugar because I wanted something a little sweeter, but that could still be considered healthy.  I also didn't have any apples left so I took some big red juicy beets that were starting to go bad in my fridge and grated them up... it turned my muffin batter a pretty pink color.  Then for fun I added some blueberries.  THey are baking in the oven right now... I will let you know how it went... I am very excited about the pink corn muffins!  If they work out good I might make some for the vegetarian potluck I am supposed to be attending on Thursday.
