Corn Muffin Recipe - Ultimate Daniel Fast Friendly – Ultimate Daniel Fast (2024)

Hi, is enriched cornmeal ok?

I did 1 c corn meal and 1c brown rice flour. I used about 3/4 c coconut milk and added 1 T chia seeds to 1/4 c of water and let that gelatinize for at least 5 min. Baked for 10 min in mini muffin tins greased with coconut oil. SO good, the chia helps bind them so they don’t fall apart. I recommend you try it this way!

Just tried the muffins, they were pretty good. I added a bit more liquid and corn. I also added green chilies, it was nice to have something different. Right out of the oven I put a touch of date honey which added a lot of flavor. I love having the recipes it keeps my focus on spending more time with God, which is the point of fasting for me. Thank you so much!!

My church is doing a collective 21 day Daniel Fast and this site has been my recipe bible. Ok so I read a lot of these comments before I started making these corn muffins. I omitted the date honey, and green onions because I didn’t have them on hand and I used fine yellow corn meal. So I first went exactly by the recipe proportions and the mix was extremely grainy, and like V.E. said “it was dry and sandy”. I added more almond milk little by little as I continued to stir, until the mixture was more wet but not soaked in milk. I spooned the mixture and baked as instructed, and they came out great!

Made these tonight with the black bean chili bake. Mixed in a combo of date honey and almond butter. Added a little extra unsweetened almond milk, and doubled the amubt of olive oil. They were amazing. Ate them with the black bean chili bake. You are such a blessing. Before finding your website i was eating broccoli and corn on the cob! God bless you woman of God!

Hey! Can you tell me a certain brand corn meal that’s on plan? I’m sending my husband to pick up a few things & trying to make things as easy as possible for him ? We typically shop at Kroger

I made these tonight for the first time and after reading several negative comments, I was pleasantly surprised. They were delicious. I did add a heaping 1/2 cup applesauce and used paper cups in the muffin tins. They were not dry and crumbly at all. I will make again. I am really enjoying all the natural, healthy foods on this fast. Thanks for the recipes!

My name is Cindy Teagarden. I am a full-time minister along with my husband, Mike Teagarden, at “The River” Church in Lancaster, OH. My husband and I also have a ministry called DeepWater Ministries In’tl. Our entire ministry team does the Daniel Fast every year and we like finding new/good information out regarding healthy, wholesome lifestyles and you seem to live it. I like that. It’s refreshing!
I just wanted to say that I’ve enjoyed your website and all that you have to offer. This has been very informative, and I love all of the recipes. Thanks and God Bless you!!!

I’ve tried a couple of your recipes with great results. This was not one of them! First the batter was very dry and sandy. I added more water and it looked right. I baked it and it was moist and crumbled like a sand castle! And it tasted like one too! I used soymilk instead, but I’ve used it before in other recipes without any issue. Please advise!

These are the best ever!!!!! I didn’t use the date honey but I’m sure if I had, it would’ve added some sweetness and been like cornbread. They were awesome with my veggie soup and veggie chili! I will be making these again with the date honey. Can you buy the date honey in stores or do you have to make it?

After reading previous comments I decided to make some alterations. I followed the ingredients exact except I added 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (hoping this would make them fluffier) and 1/4 cup applesauce (my husband is used to sweet cornbread). I also only baked them for 12 minutes in a mini muffin tin. They turned out pretty well. My only concern was when I first started scooping them out they started to crumble apart, but I switched to a spoon and they popped out fine. I would also add more salt next time. Looking forward to eating them with Chipotle Chili this evening. Thanks for the recipe!

Could dried chives be substituted for the green onions in this recipe?

Mine turned out great! After reading all the comments I went ahead and added a tiny bit extra of oil and used 2tTbs all natural no sugar apple butter instead of date paste. They are for tomorrow’s potato soup but I will be making another batch with apples and cranberries/raisins for breakfast.

I love these and I’m going to use jalapeños chopped on my next batch. I also use a tad bit more water and a nonstick muffin pan. Mine turned out great and I didn’t cook them quite as long either. Love these with soup.

Hi Kristen and God bless you, I’m Hispanic and I’m wondering if Maseca corn flour is allowed?

This might sound crazy. I was wondering if its possible to eat hot water cornbread cooked in canola oil on a 3day fast. As a snack or for a meal.

The muffins were tasty, but they were VERY difficult to remove the muffin tins. I ended up with corn muffin chunks and crumbs, and had to soak my muffin tin to get it all clean. I STRONGLY recommend using paper muffin cups. No amount of cooking spray or oil could keep these things from sticking.

I substituted the Date Honey for 1/2 cup no sugar added applesauce. The consistency is great and they came out of the pan easily. I would only add a bit more salt the next time. Very good.

I just made a different version of this muffin. I’ve been craving sweets, so I used two Granny Smith’s apples, raisins, dates, and a over ripe banana instead of the onions and corn. They turned out delicious!

I haven’t made the muffins yet…wondering if size matters…if the most success was with regular sized muffins or the mini muffins?

I have tried this recipe approximately three times. It gets better each time. I added additional rice milk and oil to allow more moisture.

Use extra olive oil on pan and I baked for 10min…came out good. In my opinion these work best broken up into Daniel fast corn chowder or chili.

I love so many of the recipes on this site! But this isn’t one of them… I don’t know what I did wrong but these came out gritty and crumbly – it’s like eating sand. After mixing all the ingredients together I had something the consistency of Play-Doh, which I wouldn’t classify as “batter.” Even after adding extra water and mixing thoroughly it seems I still have loose cornmeal flaking off the top. Any suggestions???

I tried this recipe and I think it was gross.

Just tried this recipe and was surprised. It was really good! I had it with vegetable soup. My husband, who is very particular about food, liked it. I have decided to try to make it again, but this time I will try Rachel’s variation.

Hi Kristen! I have made these muffins for the past two years during my fast and I can never get them to turn out right. The flavor is good, but they turn out dry and it’s like trying to pry cement out of the muffin tins. I’ve read over the ingredients and instructions several times, making sure I did everything right, even down to rubbing the muffin pan with olive oil, but they still stick horribly and are pretty dry. They fell apart really bad when I pried them from the pan, but they still worked as crumbles over chili.

This recipe includes cornmeal. I thought cornmeal was off the list for daniel fast items because it includes flour and sweetener. It was my understanding that you can only use whole grain breaded items. Please explain thanks

These turned out well. I omitted the green onions and sprinkled onion powder into the batter instead. Then I added fresh cilantro and an unseeded Serrano chili pepper. Spicy, but good!

Would it work to use something other than date honey? Would applesauce be gross?

I love this recipe. I didn’t think they would be so delicious.
