Submitted by Umberle

"Adapted from the Cooking Light Oct 2007. Originally these were mini muffins. I upgraded them to regular size. Still tinkering with the baking time but they come out just fine as I'm writing it up."

Loved em! Hubby makes dry, old fashioned, simple cornbread and I decided to make this instead. He was pleasantly surprised. Thank you! So moist and yummy.

I used cream corn like the recipe suggested. These are fantastically moist! (I did have to bake them about 25-30 minutes.)

I've made these for years - I'll add crisp maple bacon or ham to them. This will give them more flavour. I brought some to my work once and just about everyone wanted the recipe. one word to describe these "NYUM"!

These were very bland. I ended up throwing most of them away. I will not make these again.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! What a yummy, moist and flavourful muffin! The cheddar, corn kernels, green onions and sour cream work so well together producing a really tasty muffin! I liked how easy and quick this recipe was to put together and how tender the finished muffins were. The only thing I changed was to use regular canned corn instead of creamed corn, which worked out nicely. I ended up with six chunky muffinsm that were instantly devoured. :) THANKS SO MUCH for sharing your recipe with us, Umberle! Made and reviewed for one of my babies during Spring PAC 2010.
