Sourdough Cornbread Muffins

It's how I'm celebrating Muffin Monday this month.......
Let's see how the others are celebrating:
Muffin Monday

#MuffinMonday is a group of muffin loving bakers who get together once a month to bake muffins. You can see all of our lovely muffins by following our Pinterest board. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about Muffin Monday can be found on our home page.

I made up these muffins to serve with some Red Beans and Rice that I made in the Instant Pot.  I will be sharing that recipe with you next month.

  1. A lighter corn muffin sounds great, Wendy. Do you think I could use sourdough discard or does it have to be fed starter for that half cup?

  7. Oh my gosh! These muffins were so good. I was a bit worried because this recipe is so different from my usual corn muffin recipes. Being a southerner at heart, I don’t like much sugar in my cornbread. So, I gave it a try. So freaking good! Wish I could post a photo because they also looked fabulous. Many thanks for the recipe.

  8. These turned out amazing. I am new to sourdough. I've been practicingand learning for about a month or so. My husband has a sweet tooth so I added 2 more tablespoons of raw cane sugar so he could eat them for dessert. He is beginning to share the sourdough idea with his friends. Sounds like he is impressed a bit.
