Boston Market’s corn bread is my favorite and I’ve always wanted to bake something similar at home. I found a corn muffin recipe in The Taste of Home Baking Book, submitted by one of it’s reader Barb Marshall. I love The Taste of Home magazine and especially this baking book because the recipes work like a charm. Nothing can go wrong. I’ve seen a couple of recipes for corn muffin, but this one was very simple and easy to veganize also. These muffins can be prepared in no time. A nice accompaniment for vegetarian chili or some hot vegetable soup. My son also liked these muffins.
Yield: 8 muffins
2 In a large bowl combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3 In a blender/food processor add Ener-G, water, milk and oil. Blend it thoroughly, for about 3 minutes.
4 Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
5 Fill the muffin cups 2/3rds full.
6 Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7 Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
2 Adding some fresh/frozen corn kernels to the batter would be nice too.
3 This is a general baking tip. I have found that greasing baking sheets/pans with shortening works better than using a non stick spray. Non stick spray leaves burn marks on the sheets while shortening does a clean job.

1 Egg can be replaced with this:
1 tbsp lightly ground flax, just enough to break the skins is all that is needed really. I grind myself in a mortar and pestle as fresh is always best! The pre-ground flax meals have lost some of their nutritional value.
Then soak for ten minutes in 2-3 tbsp warm water, stir once or twice. Water will become thick and slimy like the white of an egg.
In recipes where I don’t care if flax seeds are present I add the whole mixture but you can also strain out seeds and simply add the liquid.
Thanks for the info Hannah.

Hi Sandhya, EnerG is an egg replacement powder made with potato/tapioca starch and leaveners. It is vegan. Check for its availability in any health food stores or organic aisle of regular supermarkets. Also check this link. http://www.ener-g.com/Articles/ArticlePage.aspx?pageId=445
When Googled I found that plain flour and all purpose flour is one and the same.

You are right …spray does make it brown…I used medium ground yellow cornmeal…which was difficult for kids to eat…will try with a softer cormeal next time !

hi madu,
i tried to find the ENER-G egg replacer in dubai and couldnt find it. what can I add instead of it in your recipies.help.
Hi Maryam, in this particular recipe you can try 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of baking soda in place of 1 egg. You can also try flax seed meal substitution. I can’t simply tell one replacement for EnerG, it depends on the recipe, the flavors going in etc. For the vegan apple cake (for which I have used EnerG) you can try with unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
