This week, Rebecca of Ezra Poundcake chose Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins on page 6 of Baking: From My Home to Yours. Madam Chow had a brain fart and made Dorie’s Corniest Corn Muffins by accident. Of course, I didn’t realize this until I was actually posting this.
Hanging my head in embarrassment, I will proceed with my review of the wrong muffins. These were quick and easy to put together. If you like your cornbread sweet (I like it just about any way you want to serve it), this is the recipe for you: sweet, but not too sweet. Cut back on the sugar if you want a more savory muffin.
I left out the corn kernels, and went a bit too heavy on the nutmeg. The nutmeg flavor really comes through, so next time I’m going to go a little lighter on my pinch of nutmeg.
This was a great change of place from all the sweets of the past couple of months. Check out the TWD blogroll to see what others have done WITH THE CORRECT RECIPE. If you want the recipe for Corniest Corn Muffins, see Dorie Greenspan’s post over at Serious Eats.

They really are basically the same recipe except the savory ones had a bit of heat (which I left out) and a bit less sugar (which I ramped up).
Nutmeg sounds just delicious in a corn muffin…I have never tried that…thanks for the idea! Yours look lovely. YUM!
Nutmeg in a corn muffin?! I must try these! Yours look SO good!!!
Hold your head up, these look like great corn muffins!!
OOOHHH Nutmeg. YUM!! Muffins look ‘right’ to me…
How funny! They look delicious and I can’t wait to try them.
When I bake these, I intend to copy you exactly – leaving corn out cornbread is always my first thought (although I chopped it for my muffins) and the nutmeg sounds fab.

Doh! You know I don’t mind, my baby! These look delish.
Great muffins, despite the brain fart. I was tempted to make both for comparison’s sake.
I keep wanting to make these, so I’m jealous of your mistake 🙂 Good to know about the nutmeg.
Mmm…nutmeg. I’m glad you enjoyed the (wrong) muffins!
Those look wonderful!
I made the playing around version, which does have the extra sugar. I like them sweet too.
Good looking corn muffins!
I have heard many raves about the corniest corn muffins! Heck, if you do enough of “playing around” with the savory corn & pepper muffins, you wind up with the corniest corn anyway — so I think you just took the playing around to the outer limits! They look great; I love a sweet corn muffin!
oopsie! i’ve also made this muffin, and it’s a good one, too, so you didn’t miss out. 🙂
How funny… I don’t think you’re the only one that mixed up the recipes, though.
I can’t wait to try this version out (to see if I like it better).
P.S. thanks for the baking instructions on the cherry pie 🙂
There is no need to hang your head in shame, these turned out lovely.
You are just ahead of us and made a future recipe! 🙂 These look great.
You did a beautiful job! No need to hang your head!
Great job on the muffins! I’ve made both recipes, and this recipe that you made is my personal favorite of the two.
LOL! Hilarious! Corniest corn muffins vs savory corn muffins. I can totally see myself mixing them up too. I think thats probably why I bookmark the monthly recipes ahead of time when the schedule comes out b/c if I am searching for it in the index the day of I will totally get confused! No matter. Your corniest corn muffins look yummy! At least they are still in the muffin family right? 😉
