I love cornbread! I’ve tried so many cornbread recipes and I’m not really a fan of the ones that don’t have any sweetness to them, but I also don’t like cornbread that is too sweet. I’ve played with a number of different recipes to come up with my own best sweet cornbread muffin recipe. We’ve never eaten so much cornbread in this house before!

I made them into delicious muffins for easy grab and go snacks.

    1. Thanks for catching that, Helen! I added it twice but I figured out why it didn’t save. I kept adding ‘egg’ to the measurement part. It’s in there now!
      Hugs, Jamie
