Cornbread Muffins with Cheddar, Scallions and Jalapenos

These cornbread muffins are easy and better than any mix for cornbread. Make them in muffin tins, mini cheesecake pans, or as a quickbread loaf. Change up the mix-ins to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line the insides of your muffin tin or pan. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, stir by hand or mix on low speed, ½ cup butter, ⅔ cup sugar and 1 ½ Tablespoons honey together. Add 2 eggs and 1 cup buttermilk, stir or increase speed to medium-low until well mixed. Add 1 cup cornmeal, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon baking soda. Once this is well mixed, add 1 cup flour and then stir or mix just until the flour disappears.
  • Sprinkle ½ cup cheese over the entire mixture to prevent the cheese from clumping together.
  • Add ½ cup green onions and 1 jalapeño and stir with a rubber spatula until mixed throughout.
  • Divide batter equally between the cups, filling almost to the top. This batter will fill 12 regular muffin tins, or 6 jumbo muffins, or can be placed in an 8-x 8" square pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Prick the center of one muffin and make sure it comes out clean. If not clean, bake for about 3 more minutes.
  • Serve with butter or honey-butter, if desired. Yes, honey-butter is a great flavor even with the onions and jalapenos.

Cook's Note:

  • You can substitute the jalapenos and cheddar cheese with ¼ cup diced green chiles, if desired. Also very tasty!
