Famous Dave’s Sweet Corn Bread Muffins

I am a huge fan of Famous Dave’s corn muffins. I love sweet cornbread that tastes more like cake than corn!:) Famous Dave’s sure knows what they are doing because this was a perfect pairing with the barbecue!! These turned out really good, they were a tad crumbly, but I think that can be remedied by reducing the cornmeal a smidge and increasing the miracle whip & cake mix slightly. I’ll try it again soon with those changes and let you know how it turns out. These were still a really tasty addition to our meal and I will definitely make them again! Oh and I didn’t notice until I was about to make them that it calls for a 9 oz. cake mix, so I have half a box of cake mix left over to experiment with! Super excited to try some of the cake flavored treats floating around the blogosphere!

Do you add one can of regular corn?

You can add one can of corn if you wish, I opted to leave it out.

Daves Sweet Cornbread. corn or creaked corn. Not nice to leave out ingredients. No one will continue to read ya

Macaroni and Cheesecake December 25, 2012 at 6:39 PM: You can definitely add in corn if you would like. I had Famous Dave’s the other night and the muffins I had didn’t have corn kernels in them, but I bet they would be a great addition.
