Mini Corn Loaves with Cranberries and Pecans - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow Cornmeal
- 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 whole Egg
- 1/4 cup Shortening
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 cup Dried Cranberries
- 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine corn meal, flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, milk, egg, and baking soda. Stir to combine. Add melted shortening, stirring constantly. Add vanilla extract, then stir in dried cranberries (you can use a little more or a little fewer if you’d like) and pecans.
- Pour into a greased mini-loaf, mini-muffin, or muffin pan, trying to make sure cranberries stay evenly distributed. Bake for 12-15 minutes or so, or until golden brown. Cool for a few minutes after removing from the oven, then turn out of the pan and allow to cool. Mix together a little melted butter and maple syrup, then brush it over the tops of the loaves.
- To make the maple butter, combine the softened butter and maple syrup. Stir until totally combined, then spread into a ramekin, drizzle the top with maple syrup, and serve with the warm muffins. (Butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.)
