Boston Market's corn bread is my favorite and I've always wanted to bake something similar at home. I found a corn muffin recipe in The Taste of Home Baking Book. Later traced the recipe on the website too.
As I have mentioned in the blog a couple of times before, I love that website because all the recipes work like a charm. Nothing can go wrong.
I've seen a couple of recipes for corn muffin, but this one was very simple to follow and easy to veganize also. These muffins can be prepared in no time. I have used Ener-G egg replacer in place of the 1 egg in the original recipe.
Also I used non-dairy milk to make vegan corn muffins. I would rather prefer using rice milk or almond milk instead. You can also use buttermilk instead of milk to make very moist corn muffins.
Corn muffins are a good accompaniment for vegetarian chili or some hot lentils and vegetable soup. Everyone at home loved these muffins!

Vegan Corn Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup All purpose flour
- ¾ up Yellow Cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoon Ener-G Egg Replacer (in place of 1 egg)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Milk (I used Unsweetened Soy Milk)
- ¼ cup Vegetable Oil (I used Canola Oil)
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 400F/200C for 15 minutes. Grease muffin cups with shortening.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a blender/food processor add Ener-G, water, milk and oil. Blend it thoroughly, for about 3 minutes.
- Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Fill the muffin cups ⅔rds full.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
My Notes
- I don't have any complaints with this recipe. The only thing I wish I had done was spreading the batter in the 8 muffin cups evenly in the first go itself. I had some batter remaining after filling the cups initially, so distributed it again among the 8 cups. So what happened was after baking there was this extra top on the muffins. Not a big deal, but the corn muffins would have looked perfect and smooth on the top (just like the picture in the magazine) if I had done it the other way.
- Adding some fresh/frozen corn kernels to the batter would be nice too.
- This is a general baking tip. I have found that greasing baking sheets/pans with shortening works better than using a non stick spray. Non stick spray leaves burn marks on the sheets while shortening does a clean job.

Thank you, Chloe.
Vegan Blueberry says
Great recipe and super easy! I added some blueberries to turn these into my new favorite breakfast treat.
Madhuram says
Wow! That's great to know. I have never added fruits in corn muffin.
Donna says
I've made these three times and they turned out so light and delicious! But I made some substitutes and changes, because I was away from home and had to use what was available! Here goes: I used 1/2 cup white flour, 1 cup corn flour, 1/3 of which was masa harina. I used 2 1/2 tsp. Baking powder, because egg replacer has some in it. I didn't have nondairy milk so used 2 Tablespoons soy flour, which I mixed in with the dry ingredients. Used a cup of water, and added 2 Tbsps. extra water, because of not having egg replacer or flaxseed there. The oil was coconut oil. I used less sugar, probably a Tbsp. Otherwise, the rest of the recipe as is! This is truly a wonderful recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Madhuram says
Wow! Amazing Donna! Thanks for sharing.
Sherry says
I just took these muffins out of the oven. Delicious! I used flax egg in place of the EnerG and unsweetened almond milk in place of soy milk. Turned out great!
Madhuram says
That's great Sherry.
Subhashini says
Hi
I am visiting first time in ur space. Very innovative work. following u through google link. Do visit my blog too.
Madhuram says
Sure Subashini.
Saradha says
I just did this. It was super good and my entire family loved it. So easy to make and great breakfast item. I just used whole milk because I didn't have vegan milk and I also added a tsp of apple cider vinegar. Thanks a lot.
Madhuram says
You're welcome Saradha.
Anoushka says
Delicious! Tried many kinds of corn breads (with eggs) and were never as good as this one. I used WHOLE WHEAT flour, cow milk and added 1 cup of frozen corn. I cut the sugar in half. I used another brand of egg replacer so I had to adjust the amount and the water. Baked with parchemin lined muffin tins. Perfect snack for toddlers!
Madhuram says
Thanks for the feedback Anoushka.
Sherie Lynn Vela says
I just did this recipe and it was very good!!! Next time I would like them to be softer maybe by adding more oil?
Madhuram says
Thanks Sherie. I guess so, or else you can try baking it a minute or two less.
Sherie Lynn says
Just made them and added some honey and extra TSBP of sugar and they were delicious. I would like them to be softer next time maybe I can add more honey.
Buyi says
Simple enough for a novice like me to follow and yes soooooooo good thanks for sharing this recipe with us
Madhuram says
Thanks Buyi.
Helen says
Oh my, just baked a batch of these and they are really delicious! I added some sweet corn kernals and it was very yummy. Thank you so much for this healthy recipe, now my daughter (allergic to eggs) can enjoy baked goods like everyone else =)
Madhuram says
You're welcome Helen and thank you for the tip for adding corn kernels. I'm going to try it too.
Audra says
Does anyone have experience with using sunflower oil instead of vegtable oil? My son has soy allergies so I need to avoid that. Coconut oil is expensive or else I would just keep using that. Thanks! I'm really excited to try this recipe.
Madhuram says
You can use any oil Audra, as long as it does not have an overpowering flavor.
Vassili says
Hi mate please help me I want to make veggie muffins from courgette, carrots and onion. Help please.
Madhuram says
You can use this corn muffin recipe itself and mix in grated vegetables of your choice, upto a cup maybe.
Kassandra says
I want to try this recipe...without making an extra trip to the grocery store. Can I use applesauce in place of the egg replacer? Also, the type of sugar isn't specified. Can I use turbinado sugar?
Madhuram says
I'm not sure if applesauce would work for this recipe. I used white sugar.
Toby says
Hello, I am looking for a vegan cornbread muffin recipe that does not use soy for my daughter's school (some of the kids have allergies and we are vegetarian (don't do eggs) - have you tried using anything else with this recipe like coconut milk or almond milk? I am making these for her class Tuesday morning for her birthday celebration to go with their veggie soup! Thank you ~ sounds yummy! 🙂
Madhuram says
Hi Toby, you could use any other non-dairy milk instead of soy. Switching that does not affect the taste or texture in anyway. Actually I personally prefer almond milk or rice milk instead of soy milk. Somtimes soy milk can give a gooey texture. So you should be fine using almond milk.
Erin says
This is the second time I have made these muffins. My Husband loves corn muffins and before becoming vegan, I would make the boxed "Jiffy" brand muffins, which are really quite good. These are better. And my husband (and I) love them. Thanks so much publishing the recipe!
Madhuram says
You're welcome Erin.
Tiffany says
I tried this recipe tonight, it really was a nice change. It was easy, didn't mess up the whole kitchen, and tasted nice. For texture on top, I'd add cornmeal sprinkled over the tops next time. It was about an 8/10, I'd say. But that's good! I had the Ener-g replacer on had as my husband's allergic to eggs. And being a person who usually dislikes store-bought corn bread/muffins, this was really yummy!
Madhuram says
Thanks for giving it a try Tiffany.
Erin says
I'm glad that everyone liked the picture of the muffins, but to be honest the comments regarding the photo are not helpful for someone visiting the site and looking for a delicious muffin recipe. I can see what the picture looks like, but I don't know what it tastes like. Review as to the actual taste of the muffins would be much more helpful and worth reading.
Madhuram says
I can understand what you are trying to tell Erin. This being a food blog and not a recipe site gets comments from other food bloggers who may not necessarily try the recipe. You may have to fish in for the actual reviews. We are trying to make it easy for people to just see the reviews. Your patience is appreciated.
Ramya says
Hey Madhuram,
Wanted to make this, however wanted to replace EnerG. Shall i use
white vinegar or flax seed meal for this one?
Please advice..
Madhuram says
I think you can try flax seed powder instead of EnerG.
Sandhya says
