When I was a kid, I would “help” my dad make corn muffins. We used the Jiffy box mix and I would stand on a stool and stir the mix, then Dad would pour it into the muffin tin and bake them. To this day, that is one of my fondest memories. Since I’ve grown, I like to add a thing or two to my muffins; cheese, fresh corn, jalapeños. I found this recipe on About.com’s Southern Food catagory page. It’s quick and easy and the results are mouth-watering yummy muffins.

Makes 12 Muffins Ingredients: •1 cup flour •1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal •2 tablespoons sugar (more or less, to taste) •2 teaspoons baking powder •1/2 teaspoon salt •1 cup milk •2 tablespooons chopped jalapenos (more or less depending on how much heat you want) •3 tablespoons diced cheddar cheese •1 large egg •4 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
Grease a standard muffin tin (about 12 muffin cups). Heat oven to 450°.
In a bowl, combine the flour, meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and butter. Add the jalapenos and cheese. Pour dry mixture into the wet ingredients and stir just until moistened.
Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full. Bake at 450° for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 400° and bake for about 12 minutes longer, or until the muffins begin to brown on top.
Because I chose to use my own milled wheat flour instead of white, the muffins did not come out as bright of a yellow color as you would normally see. Don’t let that scare you from trying it. My muffins were full of flavor and nutrients. The jalapenos added much flavor without the heat since I used jalapenos from a jar rather then fresh.
I served my muffins with a thin steak seasoned wtih Mrs. Dash and a bit of A-1 with a side of french style green beans.
These muffins sound delicious, Lori! I love the addition of jalapenos and cheddar to the muffins and I’m sure they each give an added boost of flavor. Thanks so much for sharing these with Made with Love Mondays and welcome to the series!

Adding extra items to the muffins really appeals to me. My husband love jalapenos!
