I love that these jalapeno cornbread muffins combine south-of-the-border flavors from my adopted cuisine, Tex-Mex, with my southern Kentucky roots. Cornbread is so easy to stir up, and this recipe spices it up a little, with the addition of jalapeño, onions, and a little taco seasoning mix for good measure. The recipe makes 12 muffins, but my Hubby had three!

Ingredients

  • unsalted butter, plus more for greasing muffin tins: 0.25 cup
  • onion: 0.5 cup (minced)
  • jalapeño, seeded and white membranes removed, plus 12 thin slices: 0.25 cup (minced)
  • eggs, lightly: 2 piece (beaten)
  • buttermilk: 1 cup
  • plain yellow cornmeal: 1 cup
  • all-purpose flour: 0.5 cup
  • taco seasoning: 1 tsp (to taste)
  • salt: 1 tsp (to taste)
  • baking soda: 0.5 tsp

  7. Bake in the center of the preheated oven until browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. If it does not come out clean, bake about 5 minutes more and test again.
