Honey Kissed Cornbread

Cornbread is a favorite of my boys and they especially enjoy it with summer favorites like fried chicken and bbq ribs. To add to our recent BBQ dinner, I made these Honey Kissed Cornbread Muffins for them and they loved it! These were a perfect balance of true corn flavor, a touch of sweetness and a great muffin with a tender crumb...

Joel really enjoyed making these with me. I loved how easy it was to make using Fleischmann's Simply Homemade Cornbread Baking Mix. With only a few pantry staples, we prepared the mix as directed. To jazz it up a bit, Joel spotted the honey in our cupboard and asked to include it. For a four year old, he certainly knows some good flavor profiles!

Another thing to note is that these mixes make it easy to include other ingredients to change up the flavor. The Baron suggested throwing in cheese and bacon for next time. With the fresh herbs in my garden growing, I'd like to try mixing in fresh basil and thyme or even minced garlic. Whatever you decide, you can't go wrong - the baking mixes make it easy! It really is 'Cornbread Your Way!' This time around, mixing in honey was a great idea and went really well with our BBQ rib dinner.

We found the flavor to be true to cornbread, which is no surprise since it's made with more corn than the leading brand. What was surprising was that it tasted as if it were made from scratch, without all the work! We definitely recommend this cornbread mix to save your time in the kitchen while you prepare some great summer meals.
