  • ¾ cup ( 175 mL ) cornmeal
  • ¼ cup ( 60 mL ) sugar
  • 1 tbsp ( 15 mL ) chili powder
  • Dash salt
  • ½ tsp ( 2.5 mL ) baking soda
  • ¼ tsp ( 1.25 mL ) dried crushed chilies (optional)
  • 3 eggs
  • ⅔ cup ( 170 mL ) buttermilk

  • 1 cup ( 250 mL ) frozen corn kernels (defrosted and drained) or 1 cob corn, grilled*
  • ¼ cup ( 60 mL ) red pepper, chopped
  • ¼ cup ( 60 mL ) green pepper, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, chili powder, salt, baking soda, and crushed chilies.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together eggs, buttermilk, and oil; add corn and chopped peppers. Stir into flour mixture, mixing just enough to moisten all dry ingredients.
  3. Spoon the batter into 36 paper-lined or nonstick mini muffin cups. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Serve warm. Makes 36 mini muffins.

Notes

*For grilled corn:

• Remove husks and brush corn with canola oil

• Grill on medium heat, turning occasionally
