Savory Cheesy Jalapeño Cornbread Muffins Recipe with Honey Butter Drizzle

  • Author: Lena
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Description

These savory cheesy jalapeño cornbread muffins feature a perfect balance of spicy jalapeños, sharp cheddar cheese, and a sweet honey butter drizzle, making them ideal for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal (120g)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (95g)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240ml)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (60g) plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (115g)
  • 2 medium fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey (60ml)
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add buttermilk and melted unsalted butter, whisking until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeños until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. While muffins bake, mix honey with softened butter in a small bowl until smooth to create the honey butter drizzle.
  9. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle warm honey butter generously over each muffin.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use fresh jalapeños and remove seeds to control heat. Drizzle honey butter while muffins are warm for best absorption. Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
