I made this cornbread and it is way too crumbly. I believe it needs butter. Not my favorite. Looking for a perfectly moist honey cornbread this is not the one.

I think the spinach overpowered this little muffin. It was tasty, but I wouldn't rush to make it again.

I've made this several times now and it's been a huge hit each time. I always double the recipe (except the spinach) and sometimes I just put it in a 9 x 13 pan instead of muffin cups.
