Sweet Corn Muffins are subtly sweet, melt-in-your-mouth soft and moist. They’re perfect with your next bowl of chili!
I am proud of all the recipes I’ve shared so far here at Onion Rings and Things. There are ones, however, I am especially excited about. Recipes I am sure are sure to please. Recipes I’d like to go down on my knees to beg you to try. For your sake, not mine. 🙂
These sweet corn muffins are one of those recipes. They’re so darn good, I might as well call them THE corn muffin. Really. Seriously. These are no dry, coarse corn bread that crumbles into a mess before you can take a bite. They are subtly sweet, melt-in-your-mouth soft and so moist, it’s almost like having a cupcake. Give them a try and bake up a batch TODAY! Your next bowl of chili will thank you.

I would like to bake 3 batches of these muffins. LivHow do you store these muffins if you want it to last a few days?

I made these with my students to go with the chili we made for ourselves and staff.. They are the best corn bread muffins ever! Super easy to make, light and fluffy, and oh, so buttery tasting. Staff could not believe that we made scratch corn bread muffins.

Do these really break off into pieces without crumbling? I’m so tired of recipes that crumble 🙁
Lalaine says
They hold together beautifully like a cupcake.:)
Chris says
I made these today and they tasted kinda bitter. I was wondering if there was too much baking soda? I think next time I’ll use less baking soda.

Hi Chris
I am sorry your experience with these muffins didn’t turn out well. They’re actually a bit on the sweet side so I am not sure what happened with yours. Here is a link that might give the answer http://food52.com/hotline/2961-what-gives-cornbread-a-bitter-aftertaste-i-made-the-2-corn-cornbread-that-was-the-subject-of-a-blog

Hi Lalaine
I saw a recipe on your blog for Sweet Corn Cake that used condensed and evaporated milk. I can’t find it anymore. I had left a question asking if the amount of flour specified (6 cups) was correct and was looking to see of you had responded. Hoping to hear from you.
Thanks
Jo

Looks great. Is it safe to assume that adding the corn meal and sugar are included in step #1?
Lalaine says
🙂
Thanks. Now corrected.
