Longfellow’s Wayside Inn Corn Muffins

Teresa Ambra

Longfellow’s Wayside Inn Corn Muffins are the BEST! Really. I have been craving these delicious muffins for a week. I finally broke down and made them today. I used only honey and no sugar. Oh, my! These are such a delicious treat and so easy to make. I like to spread spun honey on them and eat them that way. Ummmmmm.

Follow Me On Instagram!

Longfellow’s Wayside Inn is in Sudbury, Massachusetts. It has a restaurant, gift shop, lodging, and its own grist mill still in service. You can’t find better corn meal in the country than their stone-ground cornmeal. It’s not real fine like the stuff out of the bag at the grocery store.

It has smaller chunks in it that give some crunch to recipes. I love the texture. I got spoiled when we lived in Massachusetts. We could easily swing by the gift shop and pick up several bags and store them in the freezer to use whenever I wanted to.

I really miss not being able to pick up their stone-ground corn meal. Well, what do you know??? As I was linking their website, I realized they have an online gift shop now. I can purchase their corn meal, whole wheat flour, honey and other things any time I desire! Yay!

The main reason I purchased their cookbook years ago was because of the delicious corn muffins they serve with dinner. They also serve Pumpkin Muffins in the fall. They’re out of this world too. The cookbook is stocked full of many of their famous recipes. If you ever have an opportunity to stop in for dinner, I highly recommend it.

It’s not like anything else you’ll ever experience. The food is fabulous anytime. But they have some great meals they put together around the holidays that are fantastic, too. The site is a historic landmark in Massachusetts and the grounds are very beautiful. We loved going there.

I love these muffins. Obviously, they are superior when you use sugar in the recipe as called for. Since I am trying to cut out sugar as much as possible, I wanted to see how these would turn out if I only used honey. They turned out really well. Honey isn’t as sweet in recipes as sugar that’s why I increased the honey in the recipe and also add a little bit of spun honey spread on mine. These are supposed to be a sweet muffin. This is NOT cornbread.

If you’re looking for the BEST Corn Muffin recipe around anywhere, then try Longfellow’s Wayside Inn Corn Muffins at your earliest possibility. They’re great for breakfast or as a side for hot soups. They are especially delightful in the fall and winter months.

When I first posted this recipe in September 2012, it was the very early days of my food blogging experience. The pictures were taken with a cheap iPhone 3. The pictures weren’t as clear as they could be even though the presentation wasn’t all that bad. I recently remade these lovely muffins for our church’s spring barbecue (April 2015), so I retook the pictures.

This time I decided to make the muffins in a miniature muffin pan rather than full-sized muffins. I also followed the original recipe and included sugar instead of using all honey. On top of that, we were in Massachusetts last fall (October 2014), so I picked up three bags of Wayside Inn’s corn meal. I put the bags in our freezer so I could enjoy delicious cornbread and corn muffins any time.

These delightful Longfellow’s Wayside Inn Corn Muffins were snatched up pretty quickly by everyone at our spring barbecue. I received a dozen or more compliments from those who enjoyed them. I’m sure you’ll have the same experience if you make them for your family as well.

Spray muffin tins with  cooking spray. Fill muffin tins a little more than 3/4 full. 

Bake regular sized muffins at 400 for 15-20 minutes. My original batch tested done at 20 minutes. When a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, the muffins are ready.

Bake miniature corn muffins about 8-10 minutes at 400. Be careful not to overcook the miniature muffins, start checking after 8 minutes. You don’t want the muffins drying out.

    Those do look good! I’ve only ever made corn muffins using the pre-made mix. Is there a really big difference in taste?

    1. Teresa

      September 27, 2012 at 9:42 pm

      I love these–and in all honesty, I love them with sugar! But since I am trying to cut it out I used honey instead. They are still really good. They’re so easy to make why don’t you give them a try sometime? It won’t take you more than about 5-8 minutes to whip up a batch. E-A-S-Y!!!

      And, if you’re not allergic to sugar, use the ratios I provide which include both sugar and honey the way the recipe originally calls for.

      I think there’s an amazing difference when you try this recipe compared to box mixes. And, if you want to purchase some of Wayside Inn’s stone-ground corn meal — there’s no comparison. I really need to get online and order some!
