It’s soup, chili, and stew season – the perfect time of year for these egg free Corn Muffins. They’re sweet and tender, yet hearty enough to hold their own when dipped into chili or soup (thanks to the applesauce, which works as a great binder). These are my son’s favorite muffin! If you’re a fan of cornbread, check out my eggless Cornmeal Pancakes for breakfast.
Unsweetened applesauce adds extra moisture in these egg free cornbread muffins, and they don’t crumble like some eggless muffin recipes tend to. These muffins stand alone, but would also be amazing with breakfast or alongside a bowl of chili, beef stew, or roasted BBQ pork. Keep in mind that this batch makes just 6-8 muffins or 12-16 mini muffins – perfect for a small family dinner. However, you can easily double it to make 12+ muffins (conversion tip: 3 teaspoons = 1 Tablespoon).

A little bland but great moist texture. I made a second batch but used cinnamon apple sauce, and added honey and chia seeds and it helped a bit.
Definitely not that classic crumbly cornbread somones little southern aunty makes, but good enough for chili night!
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, this definitely is not Southern style cornbread (which I actually only tried recently for the first time). We like our cornbread sweeter and softer up north. 😉 I like mine with honey-butter, and cinnamon is an excellent addition, as you mentioned – I also add a pinch to my batter sometimes!
