Sweet Cornbread Muffins (using a cornbread mix & a cake mix)

I'm not sure where this recipe came from.  I have had it, handwritten, in my files and been anxious to try it.  The cake mix gives the muffins a sweet taste and smoother texture than every day cornbread muffins. 

I whipped them up by hand (you don't want to overbeat muffins) and we enjoyed them alongside a bowl of chili.  MMM good!

Surprise your family and see if they can tell a difference from 'traditional' cornbread.

SWEET CORNBREAD MUFFINS 

(using a cornbread mix & a cake mix) 

1 (9 ozs) box yellow cake mix (Jiffy brand)

1 (8.5 ozs) box corn bread mix (Jiffy brand)

2 eggs

1/2 c. water

1/3 c. 2% milk

2 Tb. vegetable or canola oil 

Preheat oven to 350*. 

In a large bowl, combine both mixes. Grease AND FLOUR (don't skip this part...

the spray that includes the flour is best) 14 muffin cups. 

In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients; stir into the dry ingredients just until everything is moistened.  Fill cups just over 1/2 full. (Sometimes I like to sprinkle my cornbread with cinnamon/sugar mixture before baking). Bake 18 - 22 minutes, or until tops spring back when touched lightly or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. 

Cool 5 minutes in pan; remove to cooling rack.
