I always used to buy Jiffy muffin mix when I wanted to make cornbread or corn muffins. But my sister gave me a Corn Muffin recipe that she swore was BETTER tasting and super simple to do (read: Brett-proof) and I finally got brave enough to attempt it recently. A few simple ingredients and 25 minutes in the oven will bring you some delightfully sweet, delicious corn muffins. I bet you can't eat just one!
Simply Sweet Corn Muffins
1 1/2 C flour
1/2 C sugar (or a bit less)
3/4 C cornmeal
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/4 C shortening (last time I used vegetable oil and they were fantastic!)
1C milk
Mix all dry ingredients – add eggs and shortening/oil and 1/2 C of milk.
Beat 1 minute and add the other 1/2 C milk.
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. (I spray mine with nonstick spray)
Bake 350 25-30 minutes. 12 large muffins
You can hand mix. I do not pull out the mixer for these. These are also really great for kids to help with!

That sounds like a good recipe! I haven’t had corn muffins in quite awhile.

They look really good & that recipe sounds simple! I’m going to try these instead of the box mix.

Looks like an absolutely delicious side to any meal. Would love to make this to eat with spaghetti. 🙂 Yum!!

Thanks for sharing. I agree that for these types of food projects it isn’t necessary to get that mixer out. good old fashion elbow grease should do the trick 🙂

Let me know how you like them! I had to make a second batch last night to go with the chili- the kids devoured them!

I use a similar recipe. Sometimes I add whole corn or cheese. It is amazingly better than any mix and so easy and quick to make.

Thanks for sharing. I’m not a cornbread lover, but I will eat it if it’s sweet! 🙂 Easy, easy recipe.
