Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

When I make Chili, it must be paired with some form of cornbread. These Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Muffins are easy to make and delicious. They are moist and full of flavor. The jalapeños are not overly spicy with the sweet corn permeated throughout. The sugar is not too sweet; it is just enough to balance the butter, jalapeños, and corn. This muffin holds true to its identity of being cornbread :)

Method
  • Sauté the butter mixture until the onions and jalapeños are softened. Set aside to cool completely.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Whisk in the wet ingredients. Don't over mix. It's ok to still see flour (Over mixing will make the dough too dense)
  • Add in the cooled, butter mixture. Mix.
  • Add in the corn and cheddar. Fold. 
  • Lightly grease a cupcake pan and fill almost to the top.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 25 mins.
  • Remove and quickly remove the muffins and place on a rack to cool. Keeping them in the pan will cause steaming. (Be careful with the hot pan!)
