I turn classic corn bread muffins into something special by serving them with a honey butter. They're gone in a flash! —Suzanne McKinley, Lyons, Georgia

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
HONEY BUTTER:
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk. Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until moistened.
Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill three-fourths full with batter. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Beat butter and honey until blended; serve with warm muffins.

My daughter brought me a couple of these to eat with my supper last night. They are DELICIOUS! I didn't have the honey butter but they didn't need anything on them. I will make them often.

This is a good recipe. I only ate one tiny piece because this is definitely not low carb. Flavor is good. I'm not opposed to going back and forth between this recipe and my traditional recipe.

Made these the other night to go with MVP chili - delicious! Honey butter was a nice touch. Got good comments from hubby and guest. Will definitely make again.

Made these last night to go with some homemade chili. They were excellent and so easy to put together. Made them exact. Next time I make them I will use less sugar, they were just a tad too sweet. Also did not make the honey butter, again because for me the sweetness would have ruined the corn muffin. Just personal preference.But will make again soon, corn muffins are a favorite!!!

@claylady01...box mixes may be 'easy', but never taste as good as scratch. By the way, this recipe IS easy.

Can't wait to taste. They're in the oven now. It is a good day to bake! Sub zero temps here where I live!! So far I'm looking forward to eating, the ingredients sound wonderful. Probably will be creamy! I'll chk in with the critique of the flavor later.Yes...very creamy&moist. The honey butter tops it off!
