Strawberry Cornmeal Muffins



I've been craving lots of strawberry baked goods lately. I ended up using this recipe from Eating Out Loud because it seemed simple. The fifth grade teacher I helped this past year said that they were good, and my mom and I liked 'em too. They're not too sweet, by the way.


Strawberry cornmeal muffin recipe (rewritten from here):

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup oil
1 cup milk
1 cup chopped strawberries + 1/2 cup for garnish

1)In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, & salt
2) Add beaten egg, oil & milk, stirring until just combined
3) Fold in 1 cup chopped strawberries
4)Fill muffin cups 3/4 full & then garnish with a few chopped berries
5) Bake at 400F (200C) for 20-25 min. or until done
6) Allow muffins to cool before removing from the muffin tin

Makes...16-ish muffins? Judging by the picture. Forgot to count.

Easy, huh?
