How To Make lemon cornbread muffins

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Zest one lemon. Cut the lemon in half and juice it, discarding any seeds.
  • 3
    Pour the milk into a small bowl and add lemon juice. Stir juice and milk together and set aside – milk should slightly curdle forming a type of quick buttermilk.
  • 4
    Melt butter in microwave and then set aside to cool.
  • 5
    In a large bowl combine flour, cornmeal, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Add lemon zest by sprinkling over dry ingredients. Whisk to combine.
  • 6
    Add eggs to dry ingredients. Then add butter, olive oil, milk and lemon juice mixture and vanilla to the large bowl. Stir until just combined.
  • 7
    Spoon the batter into muffin cups. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • 8
    May be served plain or with jam.
