Cheesy Honey Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins

Oh my gosh are these Cheesy Honey Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins delicious! You can tailor the level of heat to your liking or just smother them in more cheese 🙂 Served with butter and honey, they are best enjoyed warm in my opinion. Let me show you how simple it is to throw these together!

How to make Cheesy Honey Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins

As mentioned above, it’s easy to make these as hot (or mild) as you would like. I diced some of the jalapeno for the inside of the muffins and placed a few slices on top. Feel free to customize the amounts to your personal preferences.

Cutting jalapenos, some dices and some slices for the tops

I first combine the dry ingredients for this recipe with a whisk. That includes the following:

  • Cornmeal
  • Flour
  • Baking Powder and
  • Salt

In a separate small bowl, the wet ingredients which include:

  • Milk
  • Oil (you could also use melted butter here)
  • Finely Diced Onion
  • Sweet Corn
  • Jalapeno and
  • Honey

Mix together the dry and wet ingredients and once combined, add in the cheese. I’m using a Mexican blend, but you could use the traditional cheddar.

Adding cheese and combining the dry and wet ingredients

Using an ice cream scoop, place the mixture into a cupcake lined muffin pan. Now you could absolutely use this recipe to make an 8″ x 8″ square, but what fun is that?

Scooping the batter into muffin cups

I top with those slices of jalapeno we made earlier along with a bit more of that shredded cheese … because you can never have enough cheese.

Bake at 400 degrees until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow them to cool slightly before enjoying.
