Sweet Cornbread Muffins are the perfect accompaniment to a big bowl of chili!

If you’re looking for a traditional, gritty, not-sweet cornbread recipe, this aint it! Ha! I do have one of those, though. Gramma’s Skillet Cornbread is for my husband, and those like him. The ones who don’t have a sweet tooth and who grew up with cooking from true Southern Grammas.

This Sweet Cornbread Muffin recipe, on the other hand, is for people like you and me! The ones who definitely have a sweet tooth and who don’t understand the lack of sweetness in a cornbread recipe.

Don’t worry, they aren’t laden with sugar like many a store-bought muffin. In fact, these aren’t even sweetened with granulated sugar at all. We’re using honey today! Another thing we aren’t using? Eggs.

This muffin recipe is a good marriage of the two extremes. A bit of sweetness, a bit of grit, begging to be eaten warm with a pat of butter. Or scooped up in a bowl of chili. Or even broken up and covered with milk if that’s your style…
