Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

These are a great savory bake to have in your repertoire! Full of cheesy, spicy flavors, they work as a great side dish to any Tex-Mex dinner. They can also be eaten just as they are, which is all too easy when they taste THIS good. Feel free to increase/decrease the amount of jalapeño depending on what level of spice you like.

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g All Purpose Flour
  • 100 g Yellow Cornmeal
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 65 g Salted Butter Melted
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 140 ml Whole Milk
  • 160 g Full Fat Sour Cream
  • 120 g Shredded Cheddar Cheese Or Similar
  • 1-2 Jalapeños De-Seeded and Chopped

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 425℉/210℃. Line or generously grease a 12 hole muffin pan.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and baking soda.
  3. Make a well in the middle. Add in the melted butter, eggs, sour cream and milk and whisk until only just combined. (A lumpy batter is fine).
  4. Add a good pinch of salt, the cheese and chopped jalapeños, saving some to top the muffins if desired. Stir together and scoop into the muffin pan.
  5. Bake 18-20 minutes, until golden on top and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool a little before serving. Optional: Brush with more melted butter when serving!
