#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.
So make sure you pin this recipe because it was the perfect partner for those Red Beans and Rice that you are going to want to make.
Yield: 10 servings

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?
ReplyDeleteI used discard Stacy and they turned out well.
DeletePerfect. Thank you, Wendy!
DeleteI never thought of using sourdough in muffins, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jolene.
DeleteOhhh those look like the perfect little bites - and absolutely the perfect accompaniment to red beans and rice!
ReplyDeleteIt really was.
DeleteYou are rocking it with your sourdough! These sound wonderful and less dense than most corn muffins. Can't wait to see your red beans and rice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, Soul Food being served up.
DeleteThese look fabulous! I use some sourdough discard in boysenberry muffins this weekend, too. Yum.
ReplyDeleteIt does work well in muffins.
DeleteLooks delicious I would love to try sourdough in muffins. perect treat.
ReplyDeleteIt made the corn muffins much softer and lighter Swathi.
DeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Maggie for coming back and letting me know that you enjoyed them. You started my day off perfectly.
DeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that they turned out well for you. Happy baking.
