This is a fun variation to the regular cornbread muffins. Try this sweet cornbread muffin recipe. Serve with some aromatic and delicious cardamom honey butter.

    A few days back, I was cleaning and organizing my house for Diwali and saw a Turkey papercraft that Sonshine had worked on when he was in first grade. He was given a prompt: "I am Thankful for" and he had to fill in the rest. In his baby handwriting, he had written "my parents". He was thankful for his parents and not for the stuff that he has around him.That did bring tears to my eyes, made me feel all mushy and emotional.[dt_quote type="pullquote" layout="right" font_size="big" animation="none" size="2"]Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it - William Arthur Ward[/dt_quote]

    Sometimes, it is easy to lose focus on what we have and instead focus on what we do not have and feel miserable. So, I decided to list down the things that make me happy and thankful.

    I am thankful for my parents.

    I am grateful to my beautiful family who support all my whims and fancies and when I make mistakes never say "told you so". They have supported me in every way possible. Love you!

    I am grateful for the little things in life, like my morning coffee (followed by my mid-morning coffee after which I look forward to the evening cup of coffee) 🙂 . It is these little things that matter the most.

    My life would be incomplete without my dear friends. Thank you for being part of my life.

    I am happy that I can travel and see this beautiful planet. And yes, there are many places that I-must-visit, but I have enjoyed every new place that I have visited.

    I am thankful I have a library near me with a vast collection of books. I can get lost in the books, they take me far far away!

    If you have read my post on Chocolate Chip Bagels (and yes, they are delicious, you should definitely try them), you will know that I am part of a group of bloggers (Baking Partners) who are passionate about baking and we try a new recipe every month. I could not participate in the last two challenges, but I could not resist trying the cornbread recipes Suja had shared. We have been eating quite a lot of cornbread and cornbread muffins for the past few days as a result of  my experiments with them. I tried many different flavors and finalized on the cardamom flavored version for the sweet cornbread muffins.They are g-o-o-o-o-d. Best served oven-warm, but I have served them as breakfast, snack to school, after school snack, before-tennis food (now, you know how many I have in stock). I wanted something to uplift the cardamom flavor for these muffins, so instead of serving them with just butter, I served them with some sweetened cardamom flavored butter.

    I ran out of the muffin liners, so i used a trick I learned from thekitchn about making your own DIY muffin pan liners using parchment paper. they are pretty easy to make (just make sure that your parchment paper can handle the baking temperature). They did not give me the perfect shaped muffins, but I still love them. They have such a cutesy, beautiful made-by-hand, made-with-love feel. I hope you agree. 🙂

    Notes

    1. These sweet cornbread muffins are best served warm on the day they are baked.[br]2. I have halved this recipe and it yielded 6 muffins and was perfect for the 3 of us. [br]3. You can warm this covered in the microwave (high for about 20-30 seconds). Serve immediately.[br]4. Use an ice cream scoop to measure out equal amounts of batter.[br]5. 1 cup = 240ml

    Do let us know what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving.

    Stay warm and Happy Thanksgiving.

      Streelatha, I have never seen cornbread muffin lined with parchment. What a genius idea. The cardamon butter is also inspired. We do enjoy cornmeal muffins. I will be giving these a try in the near future. Love your focus here on gratitude. That always makes life better for everyone. And it's easy to forget. Thank you!

      What a beautiful post, Sreelatha! Ever since I saw the pictures I have been trying to come around, but your page was not loading... I totally agree... the small matters in life is what matters the most, the time we lose focus from them, our life may end up being a chaos of unacceptable expectations... Never tried cornmeal, don't know if we get it here too... but these muffins look so lovely with a nice yellow hue and that butter is making my knees weak... Beautiful pics as well... All in all, lovely post...
