I learned an important lesson this week while making cornbread muffins.
Don’t over-think things. Simple is best.
Who says the best lessons aren’t learned while baking anyways?
A few weeks ago I made a cornbread crumb cake that was delicious albeit a little time-consuming.
And yesterday I cooked up a batch of vegetarian chili and was looking for a quick corn muffin recipe to go along with it. Let’s avoid getting into the details as to why I felt the need to make chili when it was 96 degrees outside and focus on the fact I discovered a quick and simple corn muffin recipe in the process, shall we?
I scanned several recipes, knowing I didn’t want to mess with anything vegan, jalapeno or healthy on this particular day when I settled on this one. Wouldn’t you know it turned out way better than my other more complicated attempts and it took half the time.
