Sweet Corn Muffins

Does anyone else remember Chi-Chi’s Mexican restaurant? We used to eat there after church whenever our mom and dad would take us out (because we couldn’t afford it on our own in those days). It was also a great date-night destination back in the day! We loved their warm chips and salsa, but my favorite thing was the sweet cornbread-like stuff they served as a side dish. This is as close as I can get to that memory, and our family enjoys them very often.

My group doesn’t typically like regular cornbread. It’s always been just too dry, and perhaps the real reason is that they are used to it a bit sweet like this recipe.

and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or so or until barely golden brown and no longer doughy in the center.
