Basic Corn Muffins

Here's a cornmeal muffin recipe that's pretty simple, but lends itself well to improvisation. Try adding corn, jalapeno peppers or Cheddar cheese.

Easily the best corn muffins I have ever had! So much better than a boxed mix. I just had 2 hot out of the oven..one with butter and the other with honey and they are amazing. Lovely corn flavour and just enough sugar. So light and fluffy as well. I used a little more cornmeal than a cup and used skim milk but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I should have checked mine after 15 minutes but instead left them for the full 20 and found they were quite brown at the bottom and sides but I like that. My advice would be to check them at 15..

The best corn muffin I've tried. I even made it vegan by using soy milk and applesauce in place of the egg. So much better than the vegan recipe I tried first!

Good corn muffins though there are other corn bread recipes on this site which I like better. I added an extra two tablespoons of sugar and added a splash of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
