Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins Tips

How can you make jalapeno cornbread muffins spicier?

You can add another jalapeno pepper, making sure to include the seeds for extra heat. All out of peppers? Add 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients.

What are some variations of this jalapeno cornbread muffins recipe?

You can use canned jalapenos instead of fresh, or add minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Tone down the spice level by using sweet bell peppers instead of jalapenos, and mix in shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese for an extra layer of creamy flavor.

What can you serve with jalapeno cornbread muffins?

Serve these muffins alongside a big pot of homemade chili or chicken tortilla soup. They’d also go nicely with slow-cooker barbacoa or roasted pork.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
