lizeroo's Note:

This is a really nice corn muffin. Nice brown crust inside the muffin pan and a tender, fine mealed texture inside the top. Not too sweet. Keep well in an airtight container. Originally from Cooks.com

Since I like to use whole grain flour in as many recipes as I can, this recipe adds a needed sweetness to the muffin. I substituted splenda for the sugar, Soy milk for the milk and whole grain Spelt flour for the all-purpose flour, with a nice result. Thanks!
