A Little Story About This Dish…
This corn muffin recipe can be used as a corn bread (baked in a pan), or, as shown here, in muffin tins.
The addition of whole kernel corn, bacon and onion adds additional interest and flavor but feel free to also add some shredded cheddar cheese, or minced jalapeño peppers for an additional “kick”!
Feel free to make extra! These muffins freeze well in a zip-lock storage bags and can also be successfully stored in your fridge and reheat nicely in a microwave oven with just a few seconds of heat.
