About

If you like cornbread you will like these muffins. I started making these muffins one day with brown sugar, because I didn't have enough white sugar. They turned out great now I make them this way all the time. Won a third place ribbon in the New Mexico State Fair in the cornbread muffins category.

Helpful hints: Vanilla yogurt can be use instead of plain, if you do omit vanilla
Don't over mix batter
