Awesome tasty recipe! I used this recipe for cornbread, corn muffins and mini corndog muffins, and its always works great! However, the first time I made this they nearly burned; I had to pull them out 5 minutes early. I'm not sure why, but I only ever need to bake for about 15 minutes, so keep an eye on the time until you know how your oven will handle it!

These were really great. I used 1/2 applesauce and honey instead of the brown sugar. I also added 1/2 C each dried cranberries and chopped pecans and zest from 1/2 an orange. This really made these special and I think you could alter them in lots of ways. They dissapeared quickly when I took them to our local farm's "muffin-luck".
