Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Muffins that your whole family will love. This is one of my favourite recipes that bring me back to my childhood. My dad used to make incredible chili and would pair it with warm, savoury corn bread. I love dipping the corn bread into my chili and the combination of the cheddar and jalapeno’s with the warm robust chili flavour is an absolute win in my books!

They are incredible easy to make, and require little ingredients. You can change the flour to gluten free and works just as good. I find sharp old cheddar works the best and it creates a bolder taste. To not make as spicy, remove the jalapeno seeds. For extra spice leave them in your batter. I hope you love this recipe as much as we do!

A must-have side dish for the holidays and this cornbread is a crowd-pleaser! It can also be made ahead of time and simply reheat when ready to be served.
