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.

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.

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?

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.

I like them when they are still warm with a bit of butter and honey. Yum! These are so good.
