SUNFLOWER CORN MUFFINS

Sunflower Corn Muffins image

New grandmothers sometimes get a little goofy-in my case it was "corny." Since our state is known for growing corn, I planned a corn theme dinner for our grandson's first visit. These golden mini muffins with a rich corn taste were a fun part of the meal. -Nadine Brimeyer, Denver, Iowa
