Savory Sweet Corn Cupcakes

It was Yusuf’s idea to make these Sweet Corn Cupcakes with Strained Yogurt Frosting and Corn Chips. It’s the first time we’ve tried savory cupcakes and I can proudly say that these are super yummy! Remember my Simple Chocolate Cupcakes, which were my first cupcakes? These savory ones are as successful as those sweet cupcakes! We had some guests visiting us the other day to celebrate the birth of our little Gokturk, who is already three months old now! We made these for them and they all ooh-ed and aaah-ed about these corn cupcakes just as they saw them on the table even before eating.
When they saw the cupcakes we set on the dinner table in rows, they said that they felt as if they had been in a Mexican party! Everyone loved these corn cupcakes so much that some took pictures of them before eating.
If you like using cornmeal in breads or cakes, you will love these cupcakes! Both the sweet corns sneaking inside and the cornmeal make these cupcakes perfectly based on corn flavor. To make the savory flavor stand out better, I used a little curd cheese and they made a great match with corns.
I used whole wheat flour and olive oil in the batter, which give the cupcakes a very nice yellow color and make them healthy! As for frosting, I used strained yogurt. No heavy cream or cream cheese! They become even healthier this way!
Don’t you love dipping corn chips into strained yogurt? It’s an amazing snack at nights when watching movies! These cupcakes take that pleasure to an upper level! Knowing that you will reach a super scrumptious corn based cupcake after eating that one corn chip on the top makes you feel in heaven! Corn chips should be placed right before serving. They lose their crunchiness if they wait, so don’t put them beforehand!
Well, you can enjoy these savory cupcakes at any time of year, but I recommend you to try these with fresh sweet corns since I find them more tasty. We will definitely be making these again before sweet corn goes out of season!
