One of our local resturants has a cranberry muffin that appears to be a mix between cornbread and a sweet muffin. I have search high and low for such a recipe with no luck. The local establishment wont give up the recipe.
 
This is a very good sweet corn cake, I hesitate to call it cornbread because it is more like a cake. We really enjoy it because this is the style that we prefer.

This might be a good starting point. Those that I know that enjoy sweet cornbread like what you'll find at Boston Market, really love this recipe.

I skip the corn kernals at the end.

You just have to add sugar to any corn muffin recipe to make it sweet. Also New Englanders add more flour than corn meal. This makes it less gritty. For those that live in the deepest part of the south fail to understand how we can eat our muffins so sweet and cake like. Sometimes I will add cream style corn in place of the liquid or at least some of it. Depending how many muffins I am making, I mix the cream style corn with the milk. It makes for a really nice moist muffin. :angel:
 
This sounds fabulous, thank you :)
