Fluffy Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

There is something about a great recipe hack that makes me smile from ear to ear. One of my favorite hacks is using Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix to make Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Muffins. They are easy, quick to make and very inexpensive.

If you every tried cornbread, the texture should be very fluffy and moist. If you haven’t had a muffin like this, then you need to make this recipe to see what it’s suppose to taste like. Nobody likes a dry muffin, trust me.

What is Corn Bread and where did it originate from?

Cornbread, an American Indian food, is now an American staple.

According to an article from Ocala, “Cornbread is probably one of America’s oldest foods. American Indians learned early on to dry or roast corn and grind it into a meal for making bread, cakes and porridge. Cornmeal, introduced to the first settlers by the American Indians, was precious, as it helped those colonists survive the harsh first years.”

What Ingredients are needed?

You will need is…..

•Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

•Egg

•Milk– Any type you like. I used unsweetened Almond Milk.

•Cheddar Cheese– I used sharped Cheddar Cheese.

•Jalapeño Peppers- Don’t use pickled Jalapeños in this recipe, use raw peppers. Using the pickled version has too much moisture and will ruin the batter.

All ingredients are very inexpensive and can be found at your local dollar store or local grocery store.
