I personally didn&#8217;t grow up with cornbread in muffin form as my relatives all made this classic staple in cast iron skillets, but honestly I love this idea. A compact little muffin that looks good and tastes great is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2.-Closeup-of-Cornbread-Muffins.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Closeup of Cornbread Muffins in their muffin tray\" class=\"wp-image-2083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2.-Closeup-of-Cornbread-Muffins.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2.-Closeup-of-Cornbread-Muffins.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2.-Closeup-of-Cornbread-Muffins.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2.-Closeup-of-Cornbread-Muffins.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2.-Closeup-of-Cornbread-Muffins.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I love to make Cornbread Muffins on a Sunday or Monday to have for the week and keep them in a sealed container for grabbing as needed. They are the perfect thing to accompany soups, stews and lots of other dinners, but they also make a great snack or breakfast when you need something quick and portable. This recipe is so easy it practically makes itself. It&#8217;s all about simply dumping ingredients into a bowl, stirring them together and popping it into the oven. It doesn&#8217;t take too long and the results are perfect for anyone who loves a bit of cornbread! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I personally love my Cornbread Muffins split in half and slathered with some good salted butter, but you can absolutely eat them plain. Another way I like to eat them is crumbled in large chunks into a glass of milk, kind of like cereal &#8211; this is a common snack with leftover cornbread where I grew up in Kentucky and there&#8217;s something very comforting about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3.-Cornbread-Muffins-in-White-Muffin-Tray.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"12 cornbread muffins in a white muffin tray on a blue &amp; white striped background\" class=\"wp-image-2084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3.-Cornbread-Muffins-in-White-Muffin-Tray.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3.-Cornbread-Muffins-in-White-Muffin-Tray.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3.-Cornbread-Muffins-in-White-Muffin-Tray.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3.-Cornbread-Muffins-in-White-Muffin-Tray.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/3.-Cornbread-Muffins-in-White-Muffin-Tray.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You will need a muffin tray to make this recipe, but they can easily be found just about anywhere at affordable prices.
