Mole Cornbread Muffins
Thursday, 06 November 2008
After you go through the trouble of making mole, you find all sorts of ways to use it (besides sitting down with a bowl of it and a spoon). Cornbread would be useful and yummy in cleaning one's plate of mole. So why not combine the two? These turned out well. Very tasty indeed.Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup skim milk
1/3 cup non-fat, plain yogurt
2-3 tbsp honey1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt1 tsp baking powder
1-1 1/2 cups homemade mole
1. 5 oz. cheddar cheese diced or crumbled
Mix all the dry ingredients. Mix all the wet ingredients except mole. Mix the two until just combined but don't over mix.
You are going to layer the mole and cheese between two layers of muffin batter. In a greased muffin pan, evenly distribute about 2/3 of the muffin batter, followed by the mole, then the cheese, and finally top each muffin with a small spoonful of batter.
I baked for 15 minutes, turning the pan half way through because the back of our oven is hotter than the front.
