Five years of blogging. Five. Full. Years.
Can you believe it? I know I can’t.
I had big plans for this year’s bloggiversary. Five years, in my mind, deserved something spectacular. I considered various forms of layer cakes – layers of cake, frosting, and other delicious treats. But then I had second thoughts. You see, for five years I’ve been sharing recipes that are exactly the opposite of this elaborate cake I had in mind. My recipes have always been about approachability – the ones you guys come for when you need recipes to feed your families on ordinary occasions. So to celebrate this incredible occasion….five years of blogging, I’ve got a fantastic recipe for you guys. It’s the kind of recipe you guys know and love me for. These Chocolate Corn Muffins are an approachable recipe that you’ll be baking for your family all the time. Just like your other Overtime Cook favorites.
Speaking of favorites, I’d love to hear a few of your favorites in the comments!
I talk about this every year, but I need to say a tremendous thank you to all of you who’ve been loyal supporters of my blog throughout the years. I’ve always said that the difference between this blog and all of my other week-long hobbies was readers. When you guys come and read, make my food, and give me feedback, it creates the fuel that keeps this blog running. And for that, I thank you all.
Since my fourth year of blogging ended, two incredibly huge changes have happened around here. Firstly, as you all know, I published my first ever cookbook, Something Sweet. If you still don’t own the book, you really need to buy it. (Okay, I’ll admit it…I’m biased.) The second thing has been a dream for years now, and about six months ago, I finally took the plunge and did it. I quit my job to pursue blogging, writing and photography full time. While it’s been a tremendous amount of work ever since, I’m proud to say I’m making it all work.
I can’t wait to see what the next year will bring for me – and all of you – but I look forward to sharing it with all of you.

- 1 ¼ cups flour
- 1 ¼ cups cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup oil
- ½ cup orange juice or milk
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces chocolate, melted
- Preheat oven to 375. Line a standard muffin pan with large paper liners* and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- Add eggs, oil, orange juice, honey and vanilla. Mix with a sturdy spoon until combined and the mixture is smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix together melted chocolate and half a cup of batter. Set aside.
- Divide remaining batter between 10-12 cups of a muffin pan, filling each one a little less than ¾ full. Spoon the chocolate mixture between the filled muffin cups, then swirl gently with a knife to get the marbled look.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until the tops are set.

Love these muffins!
Think I will make a batch like now
Congrats on another great year! So many of your recipes have graced my table. I’ve really learned a lot from you! Thank you!
can you make these with gluten free flour?
Happy Bloggiversary! And thanks so much for your fresh, simple, and innovative ideas that keep my table interesting! Hard to say which recipes are my favorites, but the Caramel Pie and Peanut Butter Mousse with Chocolate Pretzel Crumbs were real favorites in this house. And I want to try out EVERYTHING in Something Sweet…I am slowly working my way through it.
Thanks again!
Can these be made gluten free?
You can try. I haven’t tested it though, so I can’t say for sure.
Just made these and had to make another batch because we finished them as they came out of the oven! They were amazing and taste like something you would buy in a cafe.
Thanks!!
do these need to be made using a mixer or by hand is fine?
Hand is fine.
Hi i would love to make these for shalach manos I am just confused of how many muffins this recipe makes… in a standard muffin tin it would make only 10-12?
Hi! Instead of melted chocolate, can I use cocoa?! If yes, how much?
Thank you
It will change both the texture and the sweetness, so I don’t recommend it.
Can I leave out the chocolate?
How would these be without the chocolate?
They would be good – but plain corn muffins.
Next to the large muffin liners there is an *, but I cannot find a note to go with that. Am I missing something or can I just use regular cupcake liners?
