    When it comes to soup/chili and cornbread, my kids are all about the cornbread. It's like their saving grace---one thing to look forward to at dinner time when none of them are excited to eat soup. I could eat soup, salad and bread every night of the week! There's just something so comforting about it, and it's filling too.

    Honey Glazed Cornbread Muffins

    These cornbread muffins bake up in under 20 minutes and are brushed with honey butter as soon as they come out of the oven, which perfectly glazes the top of each muffin. Sticky, sweet and delicious.

    Of course you are going to still want to slice each in half and add more honey and butter----that's a given.

    Tips For Making Perfect Cornbread Muffins

    • Do not over-mix the batter. These do not need to be beaten like cake mix. Simply stir with a wooden spoon or Danish dough whisk (my favorite kitchen utensil) until the batter comes together.
    • Do not over bake. I've found that 15-17 minutes is just right.
    • Eat the cornbread muffins the day they are made. Wrap leftovers individually in plastic, but they will be more crumbly on day 2.
