Super easy and quick, Honey Cornbread Muffins is the classic bread side for Southerners. This simple recipe is much better and just as easy as the boxed mix.

They’re so good served with Chili, Beef Stew, or butter and syrup!

The perfect cornbread muffin is crisp around the edges, not too sweet, and has a fluffy texture.

Cornbread takes just minutes to mix together. I like baking cornbread in muffin tins instead of a cast-iron skillet simply because it bakes faster. However, you can bake them in a skillet or even a cake or pie pan.

Furthermore, even those my recipe has honey in it, these cornbread muffins aren’t sweet.

Delish.
Only difference I made was using a can of good cream corn (Not store bought brand) in place of the frozencorn and added some finely diced bell pepper and oiled my cast iron skillet with bacon grease.
