Sweet Corn Muffins {or Cornbread}

November 27, 2013 by Leia

In my book, there are two kinds of corn bread.  Sweet and savory.  I grew up on the more savory kind that my mom always made.  I’ll share that recipe in a different post.  This recipe is the sweet kind and comes from a friend of my MIL’s.  (Mother-in-law’s)

This sweet version has buttermilk, and melted butter.  Plus we drizzle some honey on it.  Oh man, it’s good.

The recipe comes together pretty quick, and can be made into muffins or baked in an 8×8 pan for corn bread.  The muffins bake faster, so when I’m in a little more of a hurry I go for the muffins.  Plus, for some reason, my kids go crazy for muffins.  I aim to please.  🙂

We really enjoy these with chili or soup.  (Like the Black Bean soup in the picture, recipe coming soon!)  But, honestly, I don’t think I’d ever turn one down.

If you know me well, then you might know of my love for butter.  I love it.  That love has passed over to my children as well.

Here’s my proof.  One day my 3-year-old was buttering his toast.  He had a LOT of butter on his knife.  I suggested he might have too much, but he insisted he didn’t.  Once the bread was COVERED in butter he said “Now THAT looks DELICIOUS!”

Need more proof, here is that same 3-year-old trying to sneak a pat of butter out of my picture…

Don’t worry I didn’t let him eat it.
