These are amazing. I have a microwave corn bread that is prepared similar to these muffins. I loved how incredibly quick and easy these are!!!! I also loved that it only made 2 muffins. The muffins are soft and moist. 1 tbsp sugar was a touch too sweet as a meal corn muffin (instead of a dessert type corn muffin) for my likings, but that is easily adjusted. These muffins rose nice and high. I will definitely be making these again!!!!

This is so easy and really quick! I love the idea of making just 2 muffins from start to finish in under 5 minutes. Butter in place of the oil I think would make for a much more tasty muffin.
