I made and served these muffins at a brunch at my church for Mother’s Day. They were really a big hit! They are different and delicious! They were especially good for a brunch because it was a way to serve greens and cornbread without all the fuss. Bake it and forget it – you don’t have to worry about keeping greens warm! They also went great with the other brunch items. If you love greens and corn bread like I do, you’ve got to try these soul food muffins!
