Buttermilk Cornbread Mini Muffins

The other night we were invited to have a chili dinner at some friends’.  I told them I would bring cornbread.  Instead of making the Jalapeno Cheese Cornbread that I love, I decided to surf Allrecipes and look for something different.  I came across a recipe called Grandmother’s Buttermilk Cornbread and decided to use this recipe to make mini muffins.

I just brought the ingredients and muffin pans with me to their house and made them there since I ran out of time, plus then we could eat them warm!  They were delicious!

Unfortunately, I’m not sure how many it will make.  I know for sure that this recipe will make 24 mini muffins, but I had batter leftover that I threw out because there were only four of us and I didn’t have time to bake up another batch! *UPDATE* I made these again, and I got 42 mini muffins!
