Notes

The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients and a serving size of 1 cornbread muffin. Actual calories will vary. Additionally, you may get more or less than 13 muffins based on how large or small you make them. 
Tips:
If you’re worried about the butter scrambling your eggs, simply add the butter, milk, and buttermilk to the bowl before adding the eggs. The cold liquids will keep the eggs from scrambling due to the warm butter.
