These unbelievably lovable little corn muffins are just about the best recipe I’ve come up with in years. The recipe is based on Silvana Nardone’s completely perfect Berry Corn Muffins in Cooking for Isaiah, and I’m telling you, you’ll love it. The corn muffins alone are tender, crumbly, and just the gentlest bit sweet, but it’s the soft pockets of juicy cranberries that steal the whole show.

For a sweet glaze, I used a simple can of sweetened condensed milk. It couldn’t be easier, or even tastier: just pop open the can and drizzle it over the warm muffins.

The glaze gives them a little extra richness and makes them feel a bit more special–especially if you think about serving them for a weekend breakfast/brunch or even as a side on your holiday table.

This recipe is a cinch to make and such a crowd-pleaser. The sweetened condensed milk just melts into every nook and cranny of cornbread, and it adds a nice touch of decadence, but feel free to ditch it if you want to eat a simpler corn muffin!

Enjoy!

    Do you know what brand the muffin tins are? They’re so cute. I tried to search for them, but just get the silicone type pans.

    These would be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. I think I’ll have to start bribing my husband today so that I can forgo the usual crescent rolls (ick) for these delicious muffins. I’m the cook in the house anyway so he can just deal with it. Thanks for the recipe. I was looking for something new to make this year.

    Looks yummy. I would never have thought of the pouring on the sweet milk. I’ll have to try it sometime. I love corn muffins and you can mix just about anything into them. Once when making an apple pie, I thought, “Wow, cut this apples, covered with sugar and spice, up a bit smaller and they would be delicious in corn muffins.” A few days later I tried it and “Whoa!” Delicious! A few chocolate chips make the kids smiles. And for something more hardy, how about a bit of left over cooked broccoli, chopped not too finely and a bit of shredded cheese. Mmmm! Learned that one in home economics class, which was about a thousand years ago, lol, or so it feels somedays.

    Hey Andie,

    As I have been flying around through your recipes, this one kept calling my name, but I kept ignoring it because they seemed to decadent and like I may wake up on the floor with empty muffin tins and crumbs all around..but I had almost all the ingredients and I am trying to listen to what I really want and well I am so glad I did!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to warm one of these up for the hubster..so fabulous! I didn’t have the sweetened condensed milk so I made a glaze with powdered sugar and milk and a drop of lemon extract! It was a great alternative! I liked the citrus in it and may add some orange zest in the batter next time and will DEFIANTLY make sure I have the sweetened condensed milk! XOXOXOXO Oh and one was all I needed:)
