Rosemary Cheddar Cornbread Muffins #BloggerClue


Today I’m jumping in with my second Blogger CLUE post.

In this club, bloggers are assigned a theme and a blog from which to cook.  This month’s theme was Easter, and the blog was Food Lust People Love by Stacy.
  
Stacy cooks for the people she loves, especially with fresh ingredients inspired by the many places she had lived!


Stacy was born and (mostly) raised in the United States, but has spent most of her adult life (and some of her childhood) overseas due to her father & husband’s jobs.  She writes about food, with a glimpse into expat life.

Since the theme was Easter, I knew immediately that I wanted to make bread.  Because what’s a holiday without bread? 

But what to make?  Garlic Pull Apart BreadOrange Poppy Seed MuffinsMennonite Paska?  I really wanted to make the paska and I probably would have had the reveal been closer to Easter (so I could serve it alongside my grandma’s Easter Bread).

So instead I made Rosemary Cornbread Muffins.  Cornbread Muffins aren’t a traditional part of the Easter feast, but I thought they could be absolutely delicious side by side with a flavorful Easter Ham!  Plus the fresh rosemary brought visions of springtime!

The muffins were delicious!  They are not as sweet as other cornbreads I’ve tried, so they sharpness of the cheddar and bite of rosemary were really able to shine!

Rosemary Cheddar Cornbread Muffins
Adapted from Food Lust People Love

¾ cup yellow cornmeal
¾ cup all purpose flour
½ tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup skim milk
1 egg
¼ cup canola oil
4 oz extra sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
1-2 sprigs rosemary, minced, about ½ tbsp


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Spray an 8 cup muffin tin liberally with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and rosemary.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and oil.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to mix.  Fold in the shredded cheese.

Divide the batter evenly between the greased muffin cups, topping with additional rosemary leaves for garnish, if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool in the pan on a rack for about 5 minutes.  Then run a knife around the edges and remove the muffins from the tin.  Eat warm.
