Blue Corn Muffins
As my favorite color is blue, I couldn’t resist making something with blue cornmeal; and here they are blue corn muffins. The color is more lavender than blue, but it’s close enough and beautiful if you ask me. Blue corn has a slightly nuttier and more earthy flavor than it sweeter yellow or white cousins.
