Helpful Tips for Making Crab Corn Muffins
These crab muffins are a budget friendly way to serve crab meat to a crowd. The combination with cornbread and seasoned to perfection, elevates this house bread of the South. For this or any gathering, these over-the-top kicking crab corn muffins are sure to be a hit of any special gathering.
- Start with quality crab meat being carful to pick through and remove any debris.
- These muffins can also be made in a standard muffin pan. When doing do, the yield may be greater.
- I use pepper jack cheese to add a kick to these corn muffins. You can adapt using your favorite flavor of cheese, if you prefer a milder approach.

I MADE these yesterday for Valentine's day and they came out wonderfully.I did bake them in a mandolin pan because I wanted something special and small for my ladies luncheon and that was the perfect size. I didn't use Martha White because I already had a Stone ground cornbread mix I got at Central Market in Houston. It gave the cornbread a nice texture with the crabmeat...they raved! I serve them with clam chowder and a heart shrimp salad. First time I've been on your site.Thanks for a great recipe.
One thing that is annoying is when people make a comment and they haven't tried the recipe. Yes it looks good and you are going to try it..do that .. comment after you've made it that's the purpose of the comment section.
