MOZZARELLA CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Mozzarella cornbread muffins are easy to make and delicious.

Mozzarella Cornbread Muffins

My family loves these mozzarella cornbread muffins with any kind of soup.  They are wonderful hot slathered with butter right out of the oven.  I even like them with my favorite jams and jellies.  These muffins keep well for several days out of the fridge in a cool place.  Reheat in the oven or microwave.  Recipe could be doubled for a crowd as they would be wonderful to serve with a big pot of soup during tailgating season or anytime you just want to have friends and family over for a quick meal.  They make a great gift along with a jar of soup for a neighbor. These muffins are a delicious bread to serve with any meal.  I can eat them for a snack!  You might also like to check out our recipe for sweet cornbread mini muffins.

  1. We loved the cornbread muffins with a little butter. The whole family enjoyed them.5 stars

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      Wonderful! We’re so happy your family enjoyed them.

  2. I usually heat the oil, in my skillet, in the oven before putting in the batter. Would you recommend doing the same with the muffin tins? I like the crispiness that the hot oil gives to the cornbread.
    Thanks

      Yes, Fran, you can do that with the muffins. Enjoy.
