Name: Meal In A Muffin
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour; 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional); 3 tablespoons granulated sugar; 2 teaspoons powdered mustard; 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 1 1/2 cups finely diced cooked smoked ham or 1 1/2 cups Canadian bacon; 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded; 1/4 cup uncooked yellow cornmeal; 1 cup buttermilk (or I use 1% milk with a tsp of lemon juice in it); 2 eggs; 3 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons powdered mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups finely diced cooked smoked ham or 1 1/2 cups Canadian bacon
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup uncooked yellow cornmeal
1 cup buttermilk (or I use 1% milk with a tsp of lemon juice in it)
2 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In medium mixing bowl mix together flour, sugar, mustard, baking powder, baking soda and both peppers add cheese, and cornmeal.
2
In separate medium mixing bowl, using a wire whisk, beat together buttermilk, eggs and oil. Mix in ham.
3
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined without over mixing.
4
Spray muffin pan cups with a non stick cooking spray; spoon batter into each sprayed cup until about ¾ full. Top with a bit more grated cheese. Place muffin pan on a 4-lipped cookie sheet and put 2 or 3 cups of water onto the cookie to keep muffin bottoms from burning. Bake in middle of center oven rack for 20 to 25 minutes (until muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in center comes out dry).
5
Remove pan from oven and carefully drain off water (it will be hot). Remove muffins from pan and set on wire rack to cool. Serve muffins warm, and for a treat top with maple syrup!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
