I grew up eating corn muffins and corn bread with special meals. Sunday lunch, birthdays, weekend getaways at grandmas, and dinners out all included the sweet, often fried, treats. I have always loved their flakiness and warmth. Now that I don’t quite eat the same as I used to, I spend a lot of time attempting to make traditional food, nutritious.
I believe I have achieved just that with these muffins. There is no processed fat, dairy, or gluten put into this recipe. This might lead you to believe that there is no way that they could be tasty but the corn certainly is the star player here.
