Sweet and tender, these corn muffins are a perfect side for a fall meal. I often serve them with chili, but they were excellent with tonight’s chicken fajitas. I first baked these years ago and never looked for another recipe…so wonderful fresh out of the oven with a cold pat of butter.

Love corn muffins. I’ve been using a recipe off the side of the Albers cornmeal box for years. Perfect and moist. It looks similar to your recipe (I think a little less butter and no buttermilk). Isn’t it great when you find a recipe that works? These are so good split and toasted the next day, too.
I agree, Leef…it’s so nice when you find the ultimate recipe and can stop searching. I know the boys will have these for breakfast…they’d be wonderful toasted with butter and jelly.
Ohhhh….I can’t believe this I just bought some cornmeal and was hunting for a recipe for muffins or cornbread and here now I will copy yours. They look real yummy…..:-)and your recipe looks good, most items I always have on hand.
Did Lambeau get some crumbs????? She’s so cute.
Yes, she did, Erica…I shouldn’t have sampled standing up at the counter! Hope you enjoy these
