Gluten Free Pear Polenta Muffins
![]() |
| Tender and sweet pear polenta muffins. |
Ripe juicy pears and a polenta flour base make this new muffin recipe an instant favorite. Ill mention right off the bat- its not low carb. It uses a moderate amount of sugar and some rice flour with organic corn meal. But if youre pining for a gluten-free vegan muffin recipe that you will absolutely love and devour with relish and lick your fingers and say softly (in your best Lauren Bacall voice), You know those pear muffins you got over there, Steve? You wanna toss me another?
These are it.
Pear Polenta Muffins Recipe
This recipe is vegan, meaning no eggs or dairy are used. But youd never know it. These muffins are grainy and tender with soft sweet bites of pear that almost melt in your mouth.
Ingredients:
2 cups peeled, cored and diced ripe pears- 2-3 pears- depending upon size
2 cups peeled, cored and diced ripe pears- 2-3 pears- depending upon size
3/4 cup gluten-free cornmeal
3/4 cup brown rice flour
or sorghum flour
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup light olive oil
1 soft ripe banana, mashed well
1/3 to 1/2 cup hemp or rice milk, as needed
2/3 cup organic brown or raw sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract
A sprinkle of organic raw sugar
for topping, if desired
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a twelve muffin tin
with liners.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a twelve muffin tin
In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients- cornmeal, rice flour, tapioca starch, sea salt, baking powder and cinnamon; whisk with a fork to blend. Set aside.
In a separate bowl beat the light olive oil with the mashed banana; add 1/3 cup hemp milk, sugar and vanilla; beat until smooth.
Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and beat lightly until well blended; but do not beat it to death. The batter should be like a thick muffin batter (not as thin as a cake batter). If your batter is dry or stiff add a tablespoon of hemp or rice milk at a time and stir until it loosens up.
Stir in the pears.
Drop the batter into the muffin cups by spoonfuls; distribute evenly among the twelve cups. I like to make sure there are a few pear pieces sticking out of the tops. Sprinkle with a dusting of raw sugar.
Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or so until the muffins are firm to the touch on top and a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean. Try the pick method twice- you might hit a moist pear.
Set the pan on a rack to cool for a couple of minutes; then liberate the muffins from the hot pan- this keeps the bottoms from steaming and getting soggy. Cool the muffins on a wire rack.


To store- wrap and freeze cooled muffins in the freezer. They thaw easily and taste tender and sweet when still a wee bit chilled. They also are delicious warm.
Makes 12 muffins.
Tip: Room temperature pears help keep the baking time even; room temperature ingredients work best in gluten-free baking.

The Great Dry Aging Steaks at Home Experiment One Week Later
Its been one week since I put this strip loin into the special "drybag" and sucked the air out (I used a machine, in case you were wondering).It looks great! The loin has shrunk ever so slightly, the meat is firm, there is no unpleasant odor, and the color looks just right. The membrane has adhered perfectly to the surface of the meat, and most importantly there is no wetness under plastic.
Theres also no moisture on the surface, or under the rack, yet the loin is clearly undergoing a very slow dehydration. At this point, I can only conclude that the bag is performing as advertised. One week to go, so stay tuned!

Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Carrabbas Prosciutto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
Copycat Recipe
Pork
12-16 oz pork tenderloin
3 slices prosciutto ham
your choice of spice rub or seasonings
Port Wine Sauce
2 1/2 cup port wine
1 half Granny Smith apple, cut 1/2 inch dice
4-5 mission figs, cut 1/2 inch diced
1/2 oz of veal demi glaze (can be found in produce section of grocery store)
2 tablespoons diced yellow onions
a pinch of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
To make the pork: Lay prosciutto side by side on a meat safe cutting board. Place tenderloin down on top of the prosciutto slices and roll up the tenderloin until the loin is completely covered by the prosciutto slices. Using a sharp knife, slice the loin into 2 oz medallions, about 3/4 of an inch thick.Season the meat with your favorite pork rub or seasoning. We use a mixture of granulated garlic, oregano, kosher salt and black pepper.Place on grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 145-160 degrees.
To make the sauce: Place all ingredients together in medium stock pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and continue cooking until the mixture has reduced at least 90%, almost a jelly-like consistency. Slowly add the unsalted butter and whisk until it is fully incorporated.
To serve: Place cooked medallion on a plate and top with the port wine fig sauce. Use enough to just cover each loin.
