Corn muffins a la Kenny Rogers
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieSo, it’s the morning of Christmas Day and you haven’t totally digested the previous night’s noche buena feast. You want breakfast though but you want to keep it light. Boxed cereals, perhaps? Boring. Oatmeal? Eeeeww… do you have to feel like an invalid on Christmas Day? Pan de sal with kesong puti? Great if you have kesong puti. If not, may I suggest something rather unusual like corn muffins a la Kenny Rogers?
Straight out of the oven, they’re just gorgeous — crusty outside, soft inside. Too much work? Not really. Fifteen minutes to prepare and 25 minutes to bake can’t be that bad. And you don’t really have to watch it after it goes into the oven. Just set the timer and take them out after 25 minutes.
Found the recipe at Foodgoat which points to Top Secret Recipes as the source. Note that I did NOT use frozen corn. Instead, I used shredded sweet yellow corn (available in most supermarkets).
The following recipe makes 12 large corn muffins.
Ingredients :
1/2 c. butter, softened
2/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. honey
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. of salt
1-1/2 c. of all-purpose flour
3/4 c. of yellow cornmeal
1/2 tsp. of baking powder
1/2 c. of milk
shredded corn from 2 cobs

Beef with broccoliMy kids used to refer to broccoli as puno (tree). To them, the florets looked like small trees. That was when they are toddlers.... »
Congratulations! I love how you presented the steps in photos. All the entries are wonderful, not too fancy and not too tedious to prepare. Galing!
At ang linis ng muffin pan mo ha,
Salamt, Julie. Maingat ako sa mga tulo at ayaw ko nang maraming nililinis hehehe
How much batter do you need to pour into the muffin cup so that it doesn’t spill out while it is baked?
I filled them almost to the brim and they didn’t spill.
hi. where can i buy those cute printed baking cups?
hi- do you have recipe for brownies? thanks!
net, cooks exchange, SM Megamall.
lyn, yes. in the main blog. The categories are on the left sidebar.
hallo connie
been reading your recipe for somedays sana i am requesting to print and copy some of those pasensya ka na di ako computer literate but my husband does, we have too many cornmeal in hamburg,wish to send u
Hi Ester, sure, print away and enjoy the cooking. Thanks for the kind thoughts, have access to cornmeal here, but thanks anyway.
i have waiting for this . . .
pwede kaya to put yung corn kernels from the can na lang? what do you think?
Joy, yes, just drain them well.
Congratulations!!! I love corn muffins. I will surely try this one during winter break. I’ve been reading your recipe for almost a month now. I love to bake. Thanks
Have fun, Karen. I love baking too although I’m not that good at it yet.
can I use 1 can of corn kernels and where can I buy honey? TIA! (”,)
Kaye, the corn kernels question has been asked and answered. Re where to buy honey. Maghanap ka.
Hi Connie! I used corn in the can…actually not kernel, may cream sya and it came out wonderful. I will bake this again next week but this time, I will fill the cups up to the brim para mas madami!
Thanks for the recipe!
That’s great, Janete. So cream style corn works too.
hi miss connie,
this recipe is really good! yum2x…accdg to my son.he really loves it. thanks again.
di pa ako nakakapag-bake ng muffin or any kind of cupcake… this is going to be my first, supposedly. but i’m still looking for a good (but cheap sana)muffin pan. whenever i see one sa mga malls, i’m hesitant to buy one—ganun lang ba talaga ka-”babaw” yung butas for the muffins/cupcakes? or me mga sizes po ba to?
may sizes and they don’t really look deep. the cupcakes will be much taller because the batter rises during baking.
Connie, May question ako. Pag sinabing “1/2 cup of butter, softened”, suppose ang ginamit ko is yung bar…kelan ako magmemeasure…while medyo matigas pa sya..or pag softened na? Nalilito kasi ako lalo na pag sinabing…”x cup of butter, melted”…di ko lam if mimelt ko muna then saka ko mimeasure or measure ko muna then saka ko i-melt. Haha…pareho lang ba dpat?
Thanks!
Janice, one block of butter is roughly 1 cup.
hi connie! this is my the second time that im going to do this. the first time i did this, my husband gobbled up 6 of them hehehe!
thanks again connie!
success!
hi connie! i can’t remember the taste of Kenny Rogers’ muffins kc it’s been a long time since I last tasted it. These muffins taste good. But should it really taste grainy?
Thanks!
Muchisimas gracias for this recipe. You’re heaven sent. I’ve been searching for this and now i can’t wait to try it. Vaya con Dios!
Hi Ms. Connie! I have been wanting to try out this recipe, but I can’t find cornmeal in regular supermarkets!! I have tried to go to Santi’s in Corinthian Hills, to no avail. How sad. Can I make this muffin po sans the corn meal?
I do undertand that the corn meal gives this corn muffins its distinct texture… but I really have to prepare this tomorrow, and I don’t know what to do!! Help!
Landmark and Unimart sell cornmeal, Lianne.
Hi again, Ms Connie!! Merry Christmas! I managed to get a hold of cornmeal in the market (but I have to grind it finely at home), what can I substitute for honey?
Pancake syrup.
hello i was able to buy cornmel at trimoma landmark kaso when i open the box to transfer it to a container ang dami bokbok or small worms na. Do you have any tip on how can i avoid it next time when i buy again. thanks
That means that’s old stock already, Mark. I suggest you open the box before the cashier swipes the code to make sure it’s clean. Then, when you get home, transfer the contents to a jar and place in the fridge.
Hi Miss Connie =) Thanks for the recipe =) Corn muffin is my favorite =) Do you have any suggestion on what brand of muffin pan to buy? I’d really love to learn how to bake =) thanks!
daji, I use Ecko (non-stick) and it has served me well for years.
Hi Connie,
I’ve been reading your recipes and comments here for quite sometime now and its really helpful.. I actually tell my officemates about it especially the tips that you shared in cooking. It will be my first time to bake this weekend (hopefully it will turn out good like yours) and I would like to ask if it’s okay to bake using a microwave oven?
Thanks a lot for sharing your talent and knowledge…I really adore you.
Regards,
Tin
Tin, you might have to look for a recipe that is meant for microwave baking.
hi Connie, wow! what a very clever presentation….i love to bake and baked different muffins variations before, but this one haven’t tried yet….good thing, all the ingredients are available here in the island…thank you for sharing this recipe…
hi maam,
i was wondering.. about the cornmeal… yung mga workers namin sa farm… if they are not eating rice.. parang corn yun kinakain nila… i was wondering kasi sa pic mo sa cornmeal.. similar ang dalawa… and aside from that.. yellow corn din gamit nila… can we buy the locally produced cornmeal? anyways… im going to bake a batch using local produce… ill update you sa result
thanks for the recipe 
Hi Jacob, I’ve been wondering about that for a long time. Why is that that with abundant corn produce in this country, no dried corn products are in the market save for kornik and animal feed.
hi mam,
ask ko lang if walang oven pwede ba iluto sa turbo broiler?
A turbo broiler is a portable convection oven.
Hey, guys! Meron ring cornmeal sa Healthy Options, Shangrila branch. Hope this helps!
Hi Ms. Connie. I would like to ask if I can substitute harina de maiz for all purpose flour? I went to Market Market today to look for Cornmeal but I did not find any. I’ve seen this Quaker Harina de Maiz hoping it is the one. But I think it is not the same as the grains were finer. Can you also please suggest what recipe to do with this Quaker Harina de Maiz as this is plenty 4.4lb. In the label it says Tortilla Mix, aside from tortilla what else I can do? Thanks a lot.
Naku, I don’t know the proportions if you substitute. If the texture of harina de maiz is the same as the common cornstarch, the result will be very different. As to what else you can do with it, let’s see… I have a new Mexican cookbook and still learning. Watch out for the Mexican entries.
The texture of the harina de maiz is coarser than cornstarch. Medyo magaspang sya. Thanks for the prompt reply. I will wait for your Mexican entry for harina de maiz. Regards.
hi miss connie,i really want to bake this one. hope to get my own oven soon… i will be glad to try all ur recipes in this archive as soon as i get my own oven. nakakpag bake lng ako pag nakakauwi ako sa bahay ng father ko, kc sila may oven dun. ehehehe. and i wil watch out for those mexican entries! so excited!
more power!
Hi Connie, your recipe is exactly the same with the one I downloaded some time ago except that it called for 3/4 cup of frozen yellow corn (which you stated that you substituted with shredded sweet yellow corn of 2 cobs). I also like your “photo-intensive” step-by-step instructions.
I think I will be coming back a lot to see more of your recipes!!!
BTW, do you have a recipe for the Mexican chili that they used to serve at Kenny Rogers as one of their sidings? Sadly, they don’t serve them anymore kasi daw hindi masyadong popular sa ating mga Pinoy. ={
There is a chili recipe somewhere in the archive but I can’t say if it’s a la Kenny Rogers. I didn’t know Kenny Rogers used to serve chili.
hi connie meron ka bang recipe ng putong puti kasi im trying to cook using fermented rice pero d sya umaalsa.im trying different procedures and recipes for a year na im give up already.
I am not familiar with any recipe that uses fermented rice, sorry.
Hi Ms. Connie,
i tried to bake this muffin last weekend, it was perfect, i used Maize meal flour, which is the staple food here. thanks a lot for the recipes and your very helpful website. Meron po ba kayong cookie recipes?
Yes, a few. You can use the drop-down category menu on the right sidebar.
hi ate connie, i made this corn muffins last week but seems like it a bit dry. what do i need to make it more moist inside?
thanks you so much. joy
I didn’t witness how you did your cupcakes so it’s hard to guess where you can improve it.
hi there,
my kids requested me to cook muffins, so i searched recipe from the internet and glad that i found the easiest one and looks delicious. however, before i begin, i would like to ask of what kind of milk i need to use, is evaporated milk or the fresh milk fine to use? how about if i cant find the yellow cornmeal..what will i use then? thank you so much for your prompt reply.
Tried your recipe when i was craving for kenny roger’s muffins… but it’s not available in melbourne..
Thanks for the great work!
