Butternut Squash Cornbread Muffins image

We like cornbread with a lot of dishes , I get tired sometimes of just plain cornbread, so this is another way to Jazz it up a bit. this has a slightly sweet taste and the Squash makes a good combo, with the cornmeal . This recipe is from Publix - Aprons cook book .
