Ingredients

  • 1 package Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free cornbread mix
  • 1 ½ cups almond milk at room temperature
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 jalapenos seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup whole corn kernels
  • 1 sliced or diced jalapeno optional topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Use a silicone muffin pan or grease a regular muffin tin and set aside.
  • Add the milk, butter, eggs, and honey to a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to combine. Add the cornbread mix and combine until no lumps.
  • Lastly, fold in the jalapenos, corn, and cheddar cheese, and mix until all ingredients are combined well.
  • Scoop the batter into each muffin cup. When filling the muffin cups, only fill them up about ¾ of the way to allow space to rise. Top with optional diced or sliced jalapeno.
  • Bake the muffins in the oven for about 20 minutes. The tops should be lightly golden brown.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven, and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before you remove them from the tins.

Notes

Notes: The cornbread serves great with butter or honey.
If you prefer not to make muffins, use a 9” x 9” pan instead.
