Brown Sugar Cornmeal Muffins

wow I have not posted in a while, but thankfully I have a good one for you. There is nothing better than a recipe that takes 10 minutes to put together, and tastes amazing. These muffins are so yummy! Even my sister, who is extremely picky, has admitted they are good. The recipe is from foodista.com and apparently it has Won a third place ribbon in the New Mexico State Fair in the cornbread muffins category (I would have loved to taste first and second winners mmmm...). It has a hint of cornbread taste but its very much its own thing - The brown sugar took care of that. I really like the crunchy topping for the muffins, because its work well with the soft bottom. The muffins are best eaten the day they were baked. I highly recommend this recipe!
