Freshly bake cornbread is one of lives simple pleasures, especially when slathered with melting butter and honey! Homemade cornbread is so easy to make and better than any store bought! You start with some simple ingredients like cornmeal, flour, buttermilk, butter and eggs to which I like to add honey for a touch of sweetness. These cornbread muffins have jalapeno peppers for a bit of spicy heat and I like to add cheddar cheese for additional flavour! It only takes about 30 minutes to make these muffins and they are perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack! My only issue with these honey jalapeno cornbread muffins is trying to restrain myself from eating the entire batch when they are fresh from the oven!

Vaoov. That nice seems. Thanks
Made these today, and they turned out great! They were moist and only slightly sweet. I used my silicone muffin pan and after 15 minutes they were perfect.
Made these today for first time. They are amazing! Moist and slightly sweet. Will definitely make again. Great flavor!
Has anyone tried using Jalapeno infused honey in this recipe?
Jalapeno honey is amazing here!
Can I replace the jalapeños with something not spicy? I want to bake for families with children. Thank you.
Yes you can! When they are in season I like to use cranberries, but you can use pretty much anything!
These look amazing. I have a recipe making cornbread muffins with jalapeno but these sound even better. Thanks for the recipe, Kevin.
