This Sweet Corn Bread Muffins recipe is a copycat of Famous Dave's corn bread muffins that we all love so much.Ben and I have an addiction for barbecue.  One of our favorites (when you combine taste, price and availability of sweet tea) is Famous Dave's.  Although it's a chain, we love it.  Now that we have moved to the desert of California, the closest Famous Dave's restaurant is about 45 minutes, as the natives here say, "down the hill."

Not only do we love the BBQ from Famous Dave's, but we also crave their cornbread muffins that are served with every dish.  A little tip a friend gave me... when you are seated, ask if you can have your muffin right away.  They'll gladly bring you one, and then "surprise!" you'll still get another with your meal.  Bonus cornbread muffin = my kind of treat!

Since the flavor was spot-on, I decided to just try the recipe again but using only regular yellow cornmeal and no stone-ground cornmeal.  I also added half a can of whole kernel corn (will use a whole can next time).  The result?  Fabulous!  And, our teeth didn't hurt!

The trick to keeping these moist is to not over-bake them.  Also, if it is just the two of you like it is in our household (well, two and a half) then you can freeze the leftovers in a freezer bag, then microwave later for 20 - 30 seconds per muffin.

Try these with my favorite slow cooker pulled pork recipe.
