Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine cornmeal
  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or melted ghee
  • 1 cup brewed sweet tea cooled
  • 1/4 cup grass-fed milk or almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Coarse sugar crystals for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, spelt flour, baking powder, salt, and cane sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, blend the applesauce, oil or melted ghee, sweet tea, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until the batter is evenly moistened; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  • Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While still warm, sprinkle the tops generously with coarse sugar crystals to create the appearance of ice.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Presentation Tip: Serve these sweet tea cornbread muffins on a rustic wooden platter alongside a pitcher of actual sweet tea, garnishing with fresh lemon slices to accentuate the Southern charm and refreshing tea notes.
