Sweet-and-savory cornbread muffins packed with color, cheer, and optional cheese confetti. The easiest way to say, “Yay, dinner!”

I was told once — by a blog, a stranger, or a very convincing tote bag — that “joy is an ingredient.” These muffins are proof.

I made these for a harvest party that turned into a rainstorm, and we still ended up singing under a tarp. They’re cornbread, but extra. You can shred in carrots or zucchini if you’re sneaky. Or go wild with sprinkles. I won’t tell.

Even my youngest (who calls yellow food “spicy”) ate two. Laura blinked and muttered “efficient.” That’s basically a gold star.
