I came up with an easy vegan cornbread muffin recipe, then added goat cheese. I know… here I am again with that “I’d be vegan except for goat cheese” thing. 
Still. They are delicious, and the tangy bite inside is perfect!
Goat Cheese Corn Muffins
1 cup cornmeal (Bob’s Red Mill)
1 cup ap flour (Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg (Ener-G replacer)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 tablespoons honey goat cheese
Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder. Prepare Ener-G egg, add egg, maple syrup, milk, oil. Stir until just combined. Pour* into prepared pan or muffin cups. Bake at 375 for 10-20 minutes (10 for mini muffins, longer for larger muffins or baking pan).
*If adding goat cheese to muffins, fill muffins less than half full. Add small amount of goat cheese to middle, fill to just under full.
Come back later to see what we ate these with…
Anyone have a half of a guess what we ate these with?

Many of you have been asking about my bowls…
These bowls…
and these…
These are my Cali Bowls. They have a lip on them, so they make GREAT dip bowls…
The ‘dipee’ is able to scoop easily! 
They are colorful and cute and SO practical… as you see I use them All The Time!
GOOD NEWS ! All of you wanting these bowls? There are two stacks that are FIFTY PERCENT OFF right now in my shop!!
The Big Sur set of three mixing bowls is one I use all the time: one 20 ounce, one 40 ounce, one 95 ounce bowl.
Normally $40 – now $20 in my shop!
The Cali Stack is four bowls – one 40 ounce, one 20 ounce, one 12 ounce and one 8 ounce bowl.
Was $30 – Now $16.00 in my shop !
Get them before they are gone – these are useful and practical, fun bowls!
So… any guesses as to what we ate the corn muffins with?

This is a very, very good idea. I love corn bread and goat cheese and have put goat cheese -on- my cornbread before, but inside? Genius!
Cute bowls!
thanks! it was SO good… I love corn bread by itself, this just makes it so much better!
Yum on the corn muffins. My sister is having to try a gluten free diet, so I am going to be sending her this recipe. Um – chili????
YES chili !! gluten free is kinda frustrating at first, when you realize HOW MANY things have gluten that you would not even think… (ketchup???) but once you find your favorite GF foods it is pretty easy, and GF is getting better all the time! most stores have great GF sections now. send her my way if she has any questions…
I’m torn! I love corn bread but I’m not a goat cheese fan. I think I could manage to try these out though
it’s a tiny amount… enough to change your mind…
and it was HONEY Goat Cheese… so yum.
These muffins are so cute! Bite-sized little treats. I think you ate them with CHILI! OR Vegan African Peanut Soup.
wee ! CHILI ! that’s exactly what I thought… I love bite size… you can have SEVERAL.
my friend Lynn said peanut soup also… great friends with great minds…
These look fantastic! I’m in love with goat cheese. The smooth but tangy flavor is just amazing. I even got some straight from a farm a few weeks ago. Love it!
I’m going with the chili group!
totally chili. it’s a good group to be in.
We get amazing homemade goat cheese from friends. I can only imagine how delicious it would be to bite into a corn muffin that is already great on its own and then taste that yummy goat cheese. Great idea!

OMG you are SO lucky… *I want a goat*… we TOTALLY have the acreage for one. or two.
Corn muffins go with…Chili? That is my guess.
I love the cali bowls — so cute and the colors are really fresh!
ding ding ding ! YEP – chili !
I LOVE the bright green cali bowl best, I think!!
Cute bowls, I wouldn’t expect anything less in your kitchen.
I love corn muffins and this seems to be an easy way to kick them up a notch! Lookout Jiffy!
heee !! we used to use those Jiffy mixes when I was a kid… I loved those fake blueberries…
Cute bowls! I saw those in your shop and wondered if they were as fun as they looked.
I love a good corn muffin, never would have thought to put cheese in it!
they really are!! I didn’t think I’d like the “plastic”, but they are really sturdy and hold up well – and they have a rubber bottom for no skid!
super fun… if you are thinking about getting some – I have an extra % off coupon if you want…
omg. put goat cheese on anything and i want it. thanks for the nikon comment – i LOVED it!!!
oh good… after publish I thought – uh oh, I went crazy long!!
…and yep – goat cheese makes EVERYTHING better!
O! M! G!…..he he!…..those muffins look so yummy! I love corn muffins anywho! Nice! Enjoy!
thanks Pam !! you can leave out the goat cheese yumminess and they are still fabulous…
Im going with African Peanut Soup…and cute bowls and cute muffins with cute soup!
ahh.. nope, although that would be GOOD with these muffins… if I make some, can I lure you to come visit…?
Ohhhh I am excited! I love those bowls. Plus, I love how they come in all different sizes!
aren’t they FUN ? I have some coupon codes for EXTRA % off if you are interested…
I don’t know why I’ve never had corn muffins… or corn bread. Clearly, I’ve been deprived!
And I’m also voting for something hearty, like chili, as the “side dish” to your epic muffins.
oh my STARS, you need to remedy this… corn bread is SO good… and YES – you guessed it – chili – ha! I love it – ‘side dish’ !!
I totally get you on the vegan except goat cheese thing…
RIGHT ??? *sigh*
I’ve totally been wanting to make cornbread lately…especially after I made chili the other night. So, I’m going to guess chili! Real creative, I know:)
yeah – real creative… that is what we had !! HA !
*so yum*
Looks wonderful. I know exactly what you mean. I would be vegan if not for cream cheese, sour cream, goat cheese, gorgonzola, parm, etc… I’m adding this to my To do list. I can’t wait to try them!
thank you! yep – cheese is pretty much it for me!
hope you enjoy!
Corn muffins? Yum. Goat cheese? Love. It. Together? I have to make these asap! Thx for the recipe
you are welcome !! ENJOY !!
Chili?!?!
Those sound really interesting! However, as much as I try to make myself and want to, I just don’t like goat cheese. Someday I hope!!
you guessed it !! our first chili of the year !
You do have some pretty awesome dishes, if I don’t say so myself. And, for the record, I totally was going to guess chili before I saw Monique comment. I knew it.
My guess is chili. Cornbread and chili is pretty much the best combo ever.
A while back I made bluecheese cornbread. Woah. Talk about flavor explosion. You couldn’t eat much of it because it was so rich, it could have stood up and strutted around my kitchen. Good though.
HAA HAA !! I love it … you make me laugh – get your Funny Self to Portland !
and yep – just posted – it was chili !!
I need those muffins bad. Real bad.
anything with goat cheese is delish in my book! these look great!!!
these look great, and are beautiful!!
