This gluten-free recipe has a fantastic texture and zippy ginger taste. Make-ahead tip: The uncooked batter keeps in the refrigerator for several days, so you can make fresh, hot muffins any morning you feel like it. Ingredient tip: Turbinado sugar is similar to brown sugar but with a coarser texture. Makes about 2 loaves or about 16 muffins
Carrot and Ginger Corn Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup sunflower oil
- 5 eggs
- 1 ripe banana, finely chopped
- 2/3 cup turbinado (raw) sugar
- 2/3 cup shredded carrot (1 medium-large carrot), finely grated
- 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons white rice flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚. In an electric mixer with paddle or in a large mixing bowl, combine oil, eggs, and banana. Add sugar and carrot; mix.
- In a separate bowl, combine rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and ginger. Add flour-ginger mixture to egg mixture and continue mixing until fully combined.
- Lightly grease two 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½–inch loaf pans or about 16 muffin cups. For loaves, fill 2/3 of each pan with batter; for muffins, scoop about 1/3 cup batter into each cup. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 25–30 minutes for muffins, 40–45 minutes for loaves.
