Southern Cornbread Muffins Are a Delicious Addition to Many Meals!

Southern Cornbread Muffins go well with so many main dishes! Some dishes they go especially well with include Homemade Tomato Basil Soup and Crock Pot Corn Chowder Soup.

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Really, is there anything more satisfying than buttery Southern Cornbread Muffins? They’re filling, warm, and just plain comforting.

They’re also really versatile, so they’ll go well with a wide variety of meals!

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE ANY BUTTERMILK?

Buttermilk adds a subtle but amazing richness and tang to these muffins. It also helps with the chemical reaction that helps Southern Cornbread Muffins to rise!

Buttermilk isn’t an ingredient that all of us keep on hand though, and sometimes, it can be a bit difficult to find. If this is the case, don’t worry – you can easily make your own substitute. Just stir one tablespoon of lemon juice into a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes and it will be ready to go!

CAN I ADD ANY ‘EXTRAS’ TO SOUTHERN CORNBREAD MUFFINS?

We love this recipe just as it is, but sometimes it is fun to add some fun extras. Feel free to get creative! A tablespoon or two of chives, a bit of crumbled bacon or sausage, or a little bit of honey are all fun to try.

Just make sure not to go overboard – a little goes a long way! If you add in too many extras, it can affect the texture and baking time.

WILL SOUTHERN CORNBREAD MUFFINS FREEZE WELL?

I am partial to Southern Cornbread Muffins fresh from the oven, but they do freeze well! Feel free to freeze any leftovers, or even to double the recipe and make extra. That way, you will have muffins ready to pull out and warm up at a moment’s notice!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 teaspoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  • 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a muffin tin by pouring 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil into each muffin well. Place the muffin tin in the oven as it preheats.
  • 2. In a bowl whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and whisk until completely blended. Stir in the buttermilk.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt with a fork or clean whisk. Create a well in the middle of the cornmeal bowl and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Stir just until combined. For a maximum crown on your muffins, allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes.
  • 4. Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven. Use a large scoop (like an ice cream scoop) to evenly divide the batter between the muffin wells. Return to oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle returns with moist crumbs.

Happenings From Our Family of 9

Our oldest daughter turned 18 not too long ago.  I took her and some friends to Branson, Mo on a shopping trip and an overnight girls trip.  We spent time being silly and having fun.  I am grateful for all of my children, but its always nice to get some time with each of them alone once in a while.  It was a great trip!

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
