Jalapeño Cheddar Corn Muffins

  • Yield: 12 1x

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 large jalapeño
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly butter a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Cut the jalapeño in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds, then mince.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the milk, egg and melted butter. Fold in the cheese and the minced jalapeño.
  4. Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups (about 1-1/2 tablespoons per cup). Bake the muffins until golden brown, 20-24 minutes. A tester should come out clean from one of the center muffins.
  5. Let the muffins cool briefly before removing from the tin and serving.
