Spicy jalapeno cornbread muffins blend Tex-Mex and Southern flavors for a mouthwatering treat.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the muffin tins
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1/4 cup minced jalapeño, seeded and white membranes removed, plus 12 thin slices
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup plain yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a small skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Stir in onion and minced jalapeño. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes until softened. Let cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, vigorously stir together the beaten eggs and buttermilk until well combined.
  • Combine cornmeal, flour, taco seasoning, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl, and whisk until well blended.
  • Once the onions and jalapeños have reached room temperature, mix them vigorously with the egg and buttermilk mixture.
  • Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients until just moistened, ensuring there are no lumps. Divide batter evenly into muffin cups, then top each muffin with a slice of jalapeño.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, approximately 25 minutes. If not clean, bake for an additional 5 minutes and test again.
  • Allow the dish to cool in the pan on a rack for approximately 5 minutes before serving warm.
