Yummy Muffins!
Today was super cold in our neck-of-the-woods so I hunkered down and relaxed. At one point I had the urge to bake something, so I looked in my pantry and refrigerator to see what I had on hand.
Among canned goods, pasta noodles, cereal, etc… I found half a container of cornmeal, a little leftover smokehouse peppered bacon, half a bag of shredded cheddar cheese and some chives and parsley.
Perfect! A batch of savory Cornbread Herb Muffins was being born!
Ingredients!
The first step is to add all of the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and gently stir the ingredients together. Next, add the liquid ingredients, the cheese, onion, chives, oregano, and bacon. Stir together just until blended (do not over-stir).
Next, fill a well-greased mini muffin pan and bake them at 400 degrees F for approximately 20 – 25 minutes. One recipe yields 24 mini muffins or 12 regular size muffins.
Bake!
As the muffins began to bake the most delicious aroma filled my home. Needless to say… it was heavenly 🙂
Gluten-Free!
Be sure to use bacon that is gluten-free if you are on a gluten-free diet. Many cured types of meat, although considered to be gluten-free themselves, become cross-contaminated during packaging. Be sure to read the labels and contact the manufacturing company if in doubt.
Cornbread Herb Muffins can be made both as mini muffins or regular-sized muffins.
I like to serve muffins with butter and a bowl of steaming hot vegetable soup. It’s a perfect meal on a cold winter’s night!
These muffins also pair well with a wide variety of soups, stews, and meat dishes.
