I had to share this cornbread muffin recipe with you because it's just plain good. I love cornbread because it can be eaten whenever and for whatever meal. Some people like it sweet and cakey, while others like it a little less sweet and the rugged side. I happen to like cornbread muffins that are a little on the sweet side, not too cakey and not too grainy. I created this recipe because sometimes I like to eat cornbread alone since it's pretty filling. The only thing is, it's a little on the plain side if you're not combining it with other things. So I added a couple surprises to my cornbread muffins to take them to a whole new level! Do you love a little spice in your life? If so, you might just love these as much as I do. They kind of remind me of the flavor of tamales which is why I named them Tamale Muffins!
Enjoy!
