The Good Old Days Corn Muffins

I still remember... More than 15 years back, I used to dine in Kenny Rogers Roasters at Marina Square, Singapore when my husband and I first started dating. Their corn muffins are always my favourite and I would take-away a couple of them for my next-day breakfast.

The recent trend of making corn muffins amongst my fellow food bloggers has reminded me my good old days of enjoying these muffins. With the help of Google, the search of "Kenny Rogers corn muffins" has prompted me a great corn muffins recipe from Food.com. After comparing this recipe with others including the one by J3sskitch3n , I think this might be the potential source of most "Kenny Rogers" taste-alike corn muffins recipes.

For a healthier option, I've replaced butter with rice bran oil spread and 1 egg with cream corn in this recipe. I was happy that these freshly baked muffins were very delicious  and brought back great memories.

 

Here's the original recipe from Food.com and my modified recipe is in blue.

Make 12 muffins
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup frozen corn

My modified recipe
Ingredients
100g rice bran oil spread
110g sugar
50ml honey
1 eggs
1/4 cup cream corn
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
100g cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup corn kernel

I made 4 mini loaves and 16 mini muffins with this recipes.

Preheat oven to 200°C (or 180°C fan forced)
Using an electric mixer, mix butter (or spread), sugar, honey, eggs (and cream corn), and salt into a large bowl.
Add flour, cornmeal, and baking powder and mix thoroughly.
Add milk while mixing.
Add corn to mixture and work into mixture.
Do not mash corn, the whole kernel is baked into the muffin.
Grease loaf tin or line muffin pan with muffin cups and fill them 2/3 full with batter. Sprinkle an extra 2 tbsp of corn on the muffin batter before baking (optional). Bake for 20-25 minutes until muffins are light brown.

Happy Baking
