I made these with the mini muffin pans. But 2 words of advice the 50g of veg. shortening confused me so I used 50Ml. and it turned out great also, Don't forget to grease the muffin tins. But otherwise I love the recipe and I don't usually like corn bread but this was great and 2 1/2 year old loves them. Hopes this helps you all out.

Made these last night to go with my Mexican Ham and Bean Soup and they were quick, easy, delicious, and, best of all, I had all the ingredients in my pantry! I used 1/3 c. melted butter flavor Crisco in them and used paper muffin cups sprayed with Pam. Thanks, Krittylea21 for a keeper recipe!

I used this recipe pretty much exactly except for substituting the white sugar for 3/4 cup of brown sugar which gives them a great taste and cuts back on the aftertaste. With a crockpot of chili, they didn't stand a chance of making it into the next day....Very tasty and nice texture!

I used butter in place of the vegetable shortening and honey in place of sugar. When you're sugar sensitive, you make concessions. This worked out very well with the bean soup and the very few that were left, froze really well, also! Thank you for submitting this!

If too dry and crumbly try substituting the shortening with applesauce in the same amount. Making it in silicone muffin cups also cuts down on the fat. If you don't like sweet cornbread add a 1/2 cup grated cheese and 3 finely sliced green onions/scallions instead of the sugar. It becomes a great chili dinner companion and is great in take-to-work lunches, saving you money.!
