Onion Crunch Corn Muffins

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

Onion Crunch Corn Muffins is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Muffin Monday. We get  together on the last Monday of the month  to share the muffins we’ve made  during the month.

I’m starting off 2021 with some muffins I made to go with a pot of ham and beans for New Years. Digging around in the pantry I spied a can of those Durkee/French’s onions and thought they might make a nice crunchy topping for them. And I was right.

I’ve  made muffins before with onions  in the  batter but this time put them on top.  As well, I have seasoned the batter  with some onion,  garlic and chives for extra oomph.

I’ve  always been warned jokingly  by  the  mother hens of my life to avoid onions if I “had a hot date” (this was before I was married). In this case I’d have to shrug it off because you definitely don’t want to go on  a date after a bowl of beans. Ahem.

I  might  even jokingly  say that eating a nice bowl of soup beans and oniony muffins might scare away another year like the one we just got rid of. But these muffins aren’t so offensive with aroma anyway. Probably as much as one of those onion bread rolls I sometimes see used for making  deli sandwiches.

Not that muffins make great sandwiches,  but they can be  an interesting  side for a salad, if not a bowl of soup or chili.

However you enjoy  yours, I hope it keeps away the bad luck of last year and may this year be full of hope and all things new.
