Sweet Corn Muffins Recipe

Rating 5

"I love making corn bread and corn muffins, but often the results are not moist or sweet enough for my taste," comments Patty Bourne of Owings, Maryland. "So I experimented until I came up with these light, pleasantly sweet muffins. They ended up winning a blue ribbon at our county fair."

Ten months later, and I can't count the times I've made these muffins. They are such a hit in our house, so easy to make,and they come out beautiful every time!! Now we have the neighbors hooked on them, especially during the winter months - they go great with homemade soup!

Yummy!...make sure to take them out of the pan before they cool all the way or you will end up with a crumbly mess!

My tastebuds are programmed for less sugar than 3/4 Cup, so I will make the next batch with less. My husband has more of a sweet tooth and LOVED them. He's from Arkansas and that's how corn muffins SHOULD taste! They are so nice and light. I also used canola oil instead of shortening - this recipe is a keeper!!

These are excellent tasting, I use Splenda. Next time I will use a little less. I also used vegetable oil instead of shortning and put just a squirt of honey.

This is a really good recipe. The muffins are nice and moist with good flavor. I reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup as they are just a little too sweet for us and we love them. They freeze well too.

What if you use the cornmeal mix with the baking powder and salt already in mix, would you use the same amount of cornmeal?
