Whether you like having it as a side, dessert, or stand-alone snack, Kenny Rogers' Corn Muffins have a following of their own. These homemade muffins have a nice exterior, but still retain a soft, moist center freckled with sweet corn kernels.

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 ¼ cup flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup corn oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 can corn kernels, drained

Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush muffin pans with a light coat of oil.

2

Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.

3

In another bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, honey, eggs and milk.

4

Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or rubber spatula until a smooth batter forms. Fold in drained corn kernels until well distributed.

Fill muffin tins with batter up to ¾ full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

6

Remove from oven and let sit in the muffin tins until cool enough to handle. Serve warm.
