These cupcakes contain cornmeal along with the flour. They are not corn muffins as they are lighter and fluffier than a muffin would be. They do contain leavening and if you put them into a loaf pan you could call it sweet bread.
Dorothy of Shockingly Delicious is hosting this month and invited us to share Cornbread or Corn Bread recipes.
We love cornbread and I have shared a lot of recipes for different versions over the years. I've combined it with Pumpkin, used it as a topping on a Chicken Skillet, started with Sourdough, turned them into Waffles, added Apples and Onions, and filled them with Pulled Pork.
This time I decided to turn them into cupcakes. Let's see what Cornbread recipes the others are sharing today......

#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
It was a good thing I got there when I did because she sold out early. What a bunch of talented young people manning the tables at this sale. I not only came home with 4 boxes of truffles made by the Angel Face but I bought her a necklace and Little Miss M a crocheted, stuffed octopus. I also found a Christmas gift for Amy and Doug. It was a very successful trip.
When I got home, half of my cupcakes were gone. Frank and the girls thought they were muffins left for them for breakfast. They said they were really good LOL.....
I shrugged, grabbed one, and ate it. It was really good and really didn't need any further adornment. Especially since I am not a frosting fan to begin with. Little Miss M and her Mama came over and had dinner with us. Then we ate the rest of the cupcakes, unfrosted, for dessert.
And that, my friends, is why you are seeing only one sad picture of the Cornbread Cupcakes that I made.
Yield: 12 cupcakes
Cornbread Cupcakes
These cupcakes contain cornmeal along with the flour. They are not corn muffins as they are lighter and fluffier than a muffin would be. They do contain leavening and if you put them into a loaf pan you could call it sweet bread.

The case of the disappearing cupcakes! They sound wonderful!
ReplyDeleteStory of my life LOL....I should have left a note.
DeleteWe really love the corn muffins that our local seafood bar sells and they are definitely more like cupcakes! Very west coast sweet. Definitely will try these out to compare!
ReplyDeleteThese were good Kelly, I'll bet they'd be delicious with seafood.
DeleteI love this story! It's a sign these corn muffins are irresistable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan
DeleteGood thing you snapped a quick picture before you left! Love the photo of you and the young entrepreneur!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacy. Her no-bake truffles were delicious.
DeleteAlthough I am totally intrigued by the idea of honey buttercream (OMG how good does that sound!), I love the story of these disappearing, for a good reason. They are on my baking list this month!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Dorothy.
