Cornbread Muffins With A Kick Recipes

JALAPEñO CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners or spray with nonstick spray. This recipe makes about 14 muffins, so there will be a 2nd batch. Set pan aside.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the cooled melted butter, oil, brown sugar, and honey together until completely smooth and thick. Then, whisk in the egg until combined. Finally, whisk in the buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the peppers. Avoid overmixing.
• Spoon batter into muffin liners, filling all the way to the top. Bake for 5 minutes 425°F (218°C) then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 16-17 minutes. The total time these muffins should be in the oven is around 21-23 minutes. Use a toothpick to test. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
• Remove muffins from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before enjoying. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

CORNBREAD MUFFINS WITH A "KICK"

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees; spray muffin tins (regular 12-muffin pan) with cooking spray.
• 2. In a large bowl, mix together the corn meal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cumin and chili powder. To the dry mixture add in the chopped chilies (or jalapenos), corn kernels and the cheddar cheese. Mix together thoroughly.
• 3. Pour in the egg, oil of choice and the buttermilk (starting with about 1 cup) and stir to combine. You want a fairly thick batter, so add buttermilk to get proper consistency. Scrape bottom of bowl and sides and stir just until thoroughly mixed. Let sit in the bowl for 5 minutes.
• 4. Spoon the batter equally among the prepared muffin tins; they should be just about full. Place in the preheated oven and bake until golden brown, about 15 - 20 minutes.
• 5. Remove from the pan immediately and serve or place on cooling rack if not using right away.
