About Cornbread muffins

Cornbread muffins are a traditional baked good originating in Native American cuisine and commonly associated with Southern U.S. cooking. They are prepared using cornmeal as the primary ingredient, often combined with flour, eggs, milk, and a leavening agent like baking powder. A standard serving of one small cornbread muffin (around 60 grams) contains approximately 200 calories, with most of the energy coming from carbohydrates. Cornbread muffins are a source of dietary fiber, B vitamins, magnesium, and small amounts of protein. Though often enjoyed alongside hearty stews or chili, they can also be customized with added ingredients like cheese, herbs, or vegetables for increased nutritional value.
