Easy Cornbread Muffins
Our simple, savory, yet easy cornbread muffins just aren’t for the cold days of Winter. These tasty muffins are perfect any time of the year! Not only are they great for enjoying with a warm bowl of soup, they are also work great served up along side a Summer salad.
There is nothing better than a fresh cornbread muffin served warm from the oven. The great thing about these muffins are that you can even warm them up in the microwave for a bit and they are just as good.

Cornbread muffins always go perfectly alongside a nice warm bowl of soup! Some of our favorite Falltime soups are my Ultimate Crack White Chicken Chili, my Bacon Beef and Beer Chili, and of course my Firehouse Chili.
One unique chili recipe I have though that is shown in the photos along with the muffins is my Kielbasa Chili. If you are really looking for a new chili recipe to try this year, this is the one to bookmark!
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour – make sure to use the scoop and level with a knife method.
- Unsalted butter – due to adding additional salt, make sure to use unsalted so you can control the amount of salt you are using.
🔪Instructions
You will find complete instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
🥫Storage
You can keep these in an airtight container, on the counter, for up to three days.
If you would like to freeze them, place them into a plastic bag that is freezer-safe and freeze them for up to three months.
To reheat them, let them thaw to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wrap each muffin in foil. Then place them on a baking sheet and heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
FAQ
Since regular milk doesn’t have the acidity that buttermilk does, it doesn’t work well as a substitute. However, to make your own buttermilk, pour one cup of milk into a liquid measuring cup then add in one tablespoon of white vinegar. Stir the mixture together and let it sit for approximately 5 minutes.
