Moist and tender cheddar and jalapeno cornbread muffins stuffed with melted cream cheese and crispy bacon! All of the flavours of jalapeno poppers in cornbread muffins! Yum!
I am always in for moist and tender, freshly baked, cornbread muffins and if you throw in some cheese and jalapenos things get even better! This is a pretty basic cornbread recipe using a mixture of cornmeal and flour, butter milk, butter, and honey which is super light, moist and tender. I make these muffins all the time and they are oh so good when slathered with melting butter and runny honey! But, then I throw in some of the ingredients from jalapeno poppers like, jalapenos for spicy heat, cheddar cheese and cream cheese along with crispy bacon! The jalapenos, cheddar and bacon are just mixed in with the batter where as the cream cheese is placed in the center as a solid piece that just bursts in your mouth when you bit into it! These jalapeno popper cornbread muffins are best fresh from the oven and they are great at room temperature and easy to reheat.
Big chunks of cream cheese!
Just look at all of that melted cream cheese in the center!
