"No more corn muffin mix! I added chopped jalapenos and lots of grated cheddar cheese to these for last night's dinner of tomato-garlic soup and salad."

Very good - I made these to go along with some vegetable fajitas and refried beans and they really completed the meal. I also subbed the apple juice with water and used a can of organic corn and they turned out great. The batter was very thin but they puffed out nice and you could taste the hint of brown sugar. I agree with the previous reviewer that you might not even need it any sweeter. The 4 year old & I really liked these. These only took about 14 mins in my oven and were very easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a yummy recipe that my kids loved, as did my husband and me. I didn't have any apple juice, so I used water and the muffins were still sweet enough. I used 1/2 cup of frozen corn kernels. Next time, I might use 1 tbsp. less of the sugar. The muffins were very easy to make and I will definitely make them again -- no more boxed corn muffin mix for me!
