Description

Cornbread cupcakes? Well, these are no ordinary cupcakes. In fact, I only call them cupcakes because they are just too good to be muffins!

Ingredients

  • 1 package 8.5oz Cornbread Mix (Jiffy Or Other)
  • 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • ⅓ cups Butter, Softened
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Creamed Corn
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Kernel Corn, Drained
  • 1 package 8oz Light Cream Cheese
  • 1-¼ cup Light Sour Cream, Divided Use
  • 1 can 4oz Diced Green Chiles, Processed In Food Processor Into A Puree
  • ¼ cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

For Muffins:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Mix cornbread mix, eggs, butter, cans of corn, and 1/2 cup sour cream together. Fill lined muffin cups to the brim with cornbread mixture. Bake 30 minutes.

For Frosting:
Beat together cream cheese, remaining 3/4 cup sour cream, and green chili puree. Refrigerate.

Once muffins are cooled, add 2 Tablespoons of the green chili mixture to the top of each and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

The eat8020.com website has the butter listed at 1/3c. I made mine with the 1/2c and they were still fantastic.

I am just taking them out of the oven. They seem really extra buttery, like almost too much if that’s possible. The butter has seeped around and down underneath the silver liners. I’m cooking them a few extra minutes.
I’m sure the flavor is going to be excellent, though.
I’ve made the “frosting” and it seems to make enough to have some leftover.

These were super yummy! My daughter loved them, and that is the true test.
One modification to make to the recipe… the butter should be 1/3c. instead of 1/2c.
