    1 muffin, 1/12th cornbread

This Corn Muffin or Corn Bread recipe has more flour than cornmeal for light, sweet corn muffin or cornbread.

Some people refer to it as Cajun-style corn muffins and cornbread because Cajuns like sweet bread and muffins. And, so do many Americans. Some restaurant and prepared mixes have so much added sugar it is the first or second ingredient. Ingredients for prepaid foods are listed by weight. For this recipe, 1/2 cup of sugar (100 g) places it third behind flour and corn meal.

For savory muffins and bread, omit the sugar or adjust the amount to taste.

Cook’s Tip

For savory corn bread or muffins, omit sugar.

You can freeze cornbread and corn muffins after cooling to room temperature. Reheat frozen muffins and bread in a microwave oven (40 to 60 seconds on 100% power), toaster oven or oven (about 15 minutes at 300°F).

Nutrition Information

Nutrition information is based on using 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar and 1/3 cup (40 g) corn flour. One muffin has about 8 grams (2 tsp) of added sugar. Reducing the amount of sugar to 1/3 cup (65 g) decreases added sugar to 5.5 grams.

Omitting the corn flour saves about 12 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrates.
