Make Sea Island Resort's Amazing Bacon-Cheddar Corn Muffins at Home

Guests who head to Sea Island, a privately owned island and luxury resort on Georgia's Southeastern coast, are in for a treat. On any given day, those treats may include, taking a sea turtle night walk, going salt marsh kayaking, or pampering yourself with a treatment and the eucalyptus-infused steam room at the spa.

Every day, we hope one of those treats includes their beloved corn muffins, studded with cheddar and flecks of bacon. The resort was kind enough to share the recipe, and we know you'll love taking a taste of the Golden Isles into your own home.
