    Breakfast Corn Muffins! These muffins are easy to make - and an endlessly customizable recipe - for a tasty breakfast on the go!

    I'm on a "blog an amazing recipe suitable for a weekend brunch every Friday" kick recently, and do I EVER have a treat for you today: These are my breakfast corn muffins!

    They're less a "cupcake without icing" muffin, and more of an "entire breakfast in the palm of your hand" kind of muffin - especially with the sausage version - and a great way to make use of the fresh sweet corn that is popping up at farmers markets everywhere.

    Because corn is such a versatile ingredient, the possibilities for these breakfast corn muffins are endless. (See below for a few suggestions to get you started!)

    Not only are these great fresh out of the oven, but they also make a great make-ahead breakfast for eating on the go for the rest of the week.

    Add ½ cup sour cream with the milk and eggs. Add ½ cup finely sliced green onions with the corn kernels. (This is also great with bacon!).

      This is the best way to have sweet corn for breakfast. I also freeze them for a handy on the go snack or breakfast. I think I will freeze some for winter hygge.
