Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: Use a medium-grind cornmeal for a muffin with a slightly coarse texture. If you prefer a finer texture, use a finely-ground cornmeal.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh or frozen corn: Fresh corn is ideal, but frozen corn can be used as a substitute. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before adding it to the batter.
  • Add mix-ins of your choice: Feel free to add other ingredients to your muffins, such as chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, or crumbled sausage.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, but it can vary depending on your oven.
