Maple Chia Corn Muffins

What goes well with red beans and rice? Some corn muffins, of course!

Notes: These are a little on the dry side, which makes them great for crumbling into a broth. If you like yours a little on the moist side, add about 1/2 cup of olive oil.

Chia + water = egg substitute! If only you could scramble chia seeds...

Ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon chia seeds
3 tablespoons water
1 cup milk


Directions: Heat the oven to 425.

Add the chia and water together and stir. Let stand 5 minutes until it becomes sticky like an egg.

Mix the corn meal, flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add in milk, syrup, and chia mixture. Stir until just combined.

Spoon into muffin tins lined with paper cups or sprayed with cooking spray (use an ice cream scoop to help you keep them equal). Bake for 15 -20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Serve with red beans and rice and enjoy!
