Not your everyday cornbread… these little muffins are so soft, fluffy, flavorful and fun to eat!

Looking for a great cornbread recipe? You HAVE to try these soft and fluffy honey jalapeno cornbread muffins... they are sure to be a favorite!

You may be wondering why there are no jalapenos in the jalapeno cornbread lol.  Since I was making these for my kiddos, I chose not to add some diced fresh jalapenos (sad face), but fear not!  There’s still some great jalapeno flavor in there thanks to this…

This stuff is deeeee-licious!!  I’ve been putting it in my eggs and wow, you just have to try it 🙂

If I was making this for other people who didn’t mind green things in their food (gotta love kids…), I would totally add in some diced fresh jalapeno to the batter.  It would really elevate the heat level, without going over the top.

Making these is pretty simple and quick… I had my batter made by the time my oven came up to temperature 🙂

The first step is to cream the butter and sugar together with your mixer until it is light and fluffy, then add the eggs and honey and beat a few more minutes.  Stir in your dry ingredients, then add your buttermilk, creamed corn, and green pepper sauce.  Don’t over-mix, you don’t want tough muffins.  Just spoon the batter into prepared muffin tins and bake for 15-17 minutes.

To me, no cornbread is complete without at the very least, a pat of butter, melting into the soft nooks and crannies, or butter and some honey drizzled over the top!

I can’t even begin to tell you how soft and fluffy these muffins are… so light, not dense at all.  If you like the airy tops of muffins, you’ll love these.  I prefer these over regular cornbread!

      Hi Tricia 🙂 I’ve only tested this recipe as written, but I guess you could experiment with adding some jalapeño hot sauce and honey to a box mix batter.

      Oh man, it looks like the coding for the recipe card didn’t translate that very well.. it should be one 8.5 oz can cream-style corn. Heading over to fix the coding now 🙂
