Whole Wheat Corn muffins

Whole Wheat Corn Muffins are savory, wholesome delights crafted from whole wheat flour, fresh corn kernels, and a medley of flavorful ingredients. Unlike the typical sweet muffins, these muffins offer a savory twist, making them a versatile addition to your kitchen repertoire. They’re perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or as a snack during long journeys when you need something filling and nutritious.

Eggless and Adaptable

This particular recipe is eggless, catering to those who prefer or require egg-free baking. However, it’s easily adaptable, and you can include eggs if you prefer a slightly richer texture. The use of whole wheat flour instead of maida makes these muffins a healthier choice, as they are higher in fiber and nutrients. Plus, the recipe uses only a minimal amount of oil, further enhancing its health benefits.

Customizing your muffins

One of the best things about these muffins is their adaptability. You can customize them to your taste by adding your favourite herbs, spices, or even cheese. Since I have a penchant for Italian flavors, I’ve infused these muffins with a blend of mixed Italian herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme, which complement the sweetness of the corn beautifully. You could also experiment with other flavor combinations, such as adding jalapeños for a bit of heat or sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy twist.

My passion for baking with whole wheat flour and a desire to create something unique when I had fresh corn on hand led to the creation of these muffins. The texture of the muffins is light yet hearty, with the corn kernels adding bursts of sweetness in every bite. When making these, you can adjust the amount of corn to your liking, but it’s essential to ensure the batter remains the right consistency—not too thick or too runny—to achieve the perfect muffin texture.

A First-of-Its-Kind Recipe

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time an eggless version of Whole Wheat Corn Muffins has been shared online, making this recipe a special contribution to the world of baking. It’s a blend of health, flavor, and creativity, and I’m thrilled to share it with others who appreciate innovative and nutritious baking.

Whole Wheat Corn muffins is a savoury muffin made with whole wheat flour, corn kernals and other ingredients to give flavour to these muffins. This is an eggless version but we can also make it with eggs. Muffins are handy one that can be had for breakfast. We can also gobble and eat these during a long journey. The interesting part is muffins are always not sweet but can also be a savoury ones. Whole Wheat Corn muffins are healthy since we use wheat flour  instead of maida and we use very little amount of oil. We can customise, add flavours to our choice. Since I love Italian flavours, I have added mixed Italian herbs into it.  

I love baking with wheat flour and when I got corn, I want to do something interesting. That's when I thought about baking these corn muffins. We can add more corn kernals. But make sure that the consistency of the batter is right. According to my knowledge this is the first time Eggless Whole Wheat Corn muffins appear online.
