A recipe for mixed berry muffins made with almond milk, oats, and cornmeal, plus your choice of fresh or frozen berries.
100 grams rolled oats (1 cup), plus more for sprinkling
85 grams all-purpose flour (2/3 cup), plus more for coating berries
65 grams cornmeal (1/2 cup)
50 grams light brown sugar (1/4 cup, packed)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch ground nutmeg
60 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled (4 tablespoons)
240 milliliters almond milk (1 cup)
1 large egg, at room temperature
7 grams lemon zest (1 tablespoon, grated on a Microplane)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
200 grams fresh or frozen mixed berries (about 1 1/2 cups), not thawed if frozen
Demerara sugar, for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 425° F / 220° C. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone or paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rolled oats, all purpose flour, cornmeal, light brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, kosher salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, almond milk, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir until just combined. Do not overmix. (Batter will be lumpy.)
In a small bowl, toss berries in 1-2 tablespoons of flour. With a rubber spatula, fold berries into batter.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, dividing it equally between the 12 cups.
Sprinkle with oats and Demerara sugar.
Bake in preheated oven for 23-25 minutes or until muffins are golden brown and nicely risen, and spring back lightly when touched.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Mixed berry muffins can also be frozen.
If using frozen berries, do not thaw.
Slice any large berries, such as strawberries, into smaller pieces.
