Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

February 14, 2015 ·

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crystal Farms Cheese for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins are a lighter buttermilk cornbread muffin made delicious with the additions of cheddar cheese and garlic.

When in doubt, add cheese. This so true when it comes to many recipes, like baked chicken, quinoa bites, even scrambled eggs. We always keep of plenty of cheese on hand. No matter the variety, cheese just makes everything extra delicious! So when my family was craving cornbread (Rosemary Cornbread to be specific) and our rosemary plant happens to be currently buried under snow outside on the deck,…it was time to come up with something new. After using the Rosemary Cornbread recipe as a starting point, and of course adding cheese and other tasty goodness, I present to you an easy recipe for Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins!…
