Cornmeal Muffins are Delicious and Gluten-Free

These date walnut cornmeal muffins are yummy and full of healthy ingredients and also gluten and egg-free. You will be amazed at how sweet they are since there is no added sugar! This recipe uses chickpea flour, one of the many egg substitutes you could choose from.

I started making these muffins many many years ago and still look forward to a batch of them.

Cornmeal Muffins Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup brown rice flour
¼ cup soya flour or chickpea flour*
¼ cup arrowroot or potato flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. Himalayan salt
¼ cup oil
½ tsp light stevia
1½ cups almond, rice or coconut milk
½ lemon juiced

Enjoy your cornmeal muffins with a healthy beverage.
