These little muffins were so tasty it was hard to only eat one. We could have eaten more, but I was trying to save the other half of the batch for the next night's dinner! In retrospect, I should have just made another batch. Sigh. Such is life, right? Live and learn. Well, I'll tell you what -- I lived and learned.
Make these often.
I found the recipe over here and tweaked it a little according to what I had on hand and our personal tastes. (Read: spice wimps) They are stuffed with corn, onion, and spinach, and are delicious. They are also incredibly healthy. Packing no oil (except to saute) and being half whole wheat, half corn meal! Amazing!
The next time you have soup, or chili, that needs a little help from their favorite cornbread to make the meal a real meal....turn to this recipe and enjoy!
