It was a little too sweet for my taste, but the rest was fine, next time I will replace sugar with stevia and tell you how it turned out.

I made these as a 'cornbread' in an 8x8 pan. The mixture was VERY thick, almost too thick (perhaps that's why they are better as muffins?), but delicious. UPDATE: I made these as muffins and they are the PERFECT recipe. My new favorite. :)

Thank you! My DH just found out he needs to eat gluten-free and I just made these along with white chicken chili. He said these are the BEST corn muffins he's ever had, gluten-free or otherwise! I guess I'll be making these often! They were done in 15 min.

I just made these using "No Egg" Orgran's egg replacer and they were great! I only baked them for 15 mins on 200C fan-forced.

Hubby and I both loved these! They are easy to make, and they have a great texture. They are really good with a little butter on them, but I just like them by themselves :)
