    Savory Corn Muffins

    One day, as I was blog hopping, I stumbled on to Dorie's Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins recipe. The recipe looked interesting and the muffins looked delicious. I bought all the ingredients to bake the muffins and then I saw Suganya’s Spicy Corn Muffins. Her recipe yields 6 muffins, which was perfect and also this recipe calls for only 2 tablespoon of oil. So I went ahead baked Suganya’s Muffins yesterday, with a few adjustments. I liked the muffins and Mr.U, being a carnivore in the house, was reluctant to even taste them. So I eat two for brunch, as soon as I baked them. I eat a heavy lunch with left over Biryani and payasam from previous day. I was so stuffed and wanted to skip dinner. Then I again, I knew very well that if skip dinner, I will wake up in the middle of the night and munch on cookies or candy. So I eat two more muffins for dinner. I have the other 2 in the fridge, which I will munch on later in the day.

    Here is the link to Suganya's recipe for spicy corn muffins.Β  I made a few adjustments to the recipe and I will list Suganya'sΒ  recipe and will strike out the ingredient that I changed the measures for and italicize the measures that I used.Β  I didn't use the cheese.
