Time for the Surprise Recipe Swap! Each month, we’re given another blog to choose a recipe to try. This month, I got Gluten Free with Judee, and I chose this recipe. We like Mexican flavors around here, and we also like corn muffins, so why not combine the two? Sounds like a perfect plan to me! In fact, I decided to up the flavor a bit and throw in some taco seasoning too. We both really enjoyed the flavor of these corn muffins – the spicy cheese, taco seasoning, and corn flour base really went well together. While making these Mexican corn muffins, I became a bit unsure since the batter seemed a bit liquidy, but once it’s baked, everything worked out. :) I also dislike shredding cheese, so for this recipe, I just cut it into small strips. And one last thing before the recipe – make sure you grease your pan VERY well!
What’s your favorite corn muffin flavor?
