If you’re having a difficult time figuring out how to make your next batch of corn muffins, you might want to look at Amanda’s blog, Asparagus Thin, for a few pointers. Before she begins describing her muffins, Amanda hypothetically asks her readers to think of the kind of texture that makes up the perfect corn muffin. Personally, I have to agree with Amanda; I also prefer corn muffins that aren’t overly sweet, especially if I’m going to eat them with a meal…but I also think that sweet corn muffins can be treated as a dessert, and who can resist a warm corn muffin with honey drizzled on top? Oh! Decisions, decisions!

Now let’s say we’re looking for a lean muffin. Possibly one that’s gluten free, low in sugar, and maybe even dairy free…is it possible to find a corn muffin that has each and every one of those qualities? Thanks to Amanda, it is. Her Humble Muffin recipe is healthy and definitely diet-friendly, and I’m not just referring to fad diets. What makes Amanda’s muffin recipe worth holding on to is that so many folks can enjoy them. So if you’re looking for a starch to serve at your next dinner party with a bowl of soup or chili, as Amanda suggests, definitely consider making these!
