Hey Bakers! Corinne here. So Jen has inspired me once again to try something new in the kitchen. This week, I’m resisting the urge to go to the grocery store again and just using what I have on hand to feed myself and my family.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the meals have been and how my cupboards and fridge have been clearing out! (Jen talks about this in episode 7 of our podcast about organizing our kitchens.)
One evening, I surveyed the fridge and pantry and landed on making soup. I had leftover rice,ย a few veggies, and a couple cans of garbanzo beans. I knew we needed something to pair the soup with, so I decided to make a batch of cornmeal mini-muffins. (My mini-muffin tin is here.)
The recipe made 24 mini muffins and my family of five not only finished their bowls of soup, but we polished off the entire batch of muffins! I hope they’re a hit in your home too. This recipe also works for 12 regular-sized muffins
