Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins

A plate full of Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins

Every comfort food I can think of off the top of my head is full of carbs, and I am especially partial to breads. When bread baskets are offered at a restaurant I am that person that can’t eat their meal because I am full from the yummy warm bread.  Seriously, if someone told me I couldn’t eat bread the rest of my life unless I cut my big toe off , GOODBYE BIG TOE. First I would be looking for a really sharp knife, then I would toss out my flip flops. Life isn’t worth living without the simple luxury of bread, who needs a big toe?!! These little bite sized Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins are no exception.

I have been to several restaurants that serve cheddar jalapeno hush puppies and they are so good. I honestly hate to pull out the fryer unless I have to so I decided to mimic the hush puppies in this mini muffin. These cheddar jalapeno cornbread muffins are slightly sweet and have a great fluffy texture with bits of corn and cheese . The diced jalapenos give these a bit of a kick but not to much that you can’t enjoy them. These are great to pop in your mouth alone or even with a smear of butter. If you like a little sweetness with your cornbread drizzle a little bit of honey on one , yumm.  I usually make these when we have a soup , stew, or chili but honestly they are good with anything .

Has anybody tried this recipe without the honey? I prefer that my cornbread not have even a hint of sweetness! Other than that, these sound great.
