    🥘 Ingredients

    Ingredients

    Jiffy Cornbread Mix: You will need two 8.5ox boxes.

    Buttermilk: Buttermilk makes the muffins taste better and softer, but regular milk (of any kind) will work too!

    Cheddar Cheese: You'll want to use a strong cheese, like sharp cheddar.

    Eggs: Helps the muffins to rise.

    Jalapeño: Two jalapenos will give you a light jalapeno taste. These muffins are not spicy at all.

    How to Make Jiffy Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins

    1. Prepare: Preheat oven to 400F. Spray 12 cups of a muffin tin with nonstick spray.

    2. Mix: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

    3. Pour: Fill 12 muffin tins with the cornbread mixture.

    4. Bake: Bake for 17-20 min, or until golden brown

    🧀 Customizations

    A cup of jalapeno and cheddar cheese will give you a decent jalapeno-cheddar taste. Add a ¼ cup more cheese and another jalapeno to give the muffins a bolder flavor.

    Buttermilk does make the muffins taste better than regular Jiffy muffins, but regular milk (of any kind) will work too!

    🥡 How to Store Leftovers

    Place leftover cornbread in an airtight container or a large ziplock bag. Store at room temperature for about two days or in the fridge for a week.

    👩‍🍳 Tips

    I highly suggest serving these with honey butter! The sweetness of the honey combined with savory cornbread muffins is so good. I know they sometimes sell honey butter at the store. Land O Lakes makes some.

      Did you seed your jalapeños first or leave in?

        Hi Amy! I didn't include the seeds when making the muffins, and they had a mild spice. If you want these really spicey, include the seeds from one or two of the jalapenos.

      My wife makes cowboy candy with jalapenos and I use that instead of regular jalapenos. It added a sweetness that was unbelievable. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

      I always do mine slightly different, I use pepper jack cheese and I add a little sour cream. The pepper jack will give the muffins a touch more heat if you like that kinda thing. Other than that this recipe has been a huge hit at family gatherings, chili night or just a BBQ at a friends. I would definitely use buttermilk instead of regular milk, helps keep the cornbread nice and moist.

      Jiffy cornbread mix has wheat flour in it, so NOT gluten free. Just an FYI.

        Yes, thank you for mentioning that! Nowhere on this page do I say this recipe is gluten-free. Some people may be confused if they are coming to this recipe from Pinterest. For some reason, Pinterest has labeled this recipe gluten-free, and I have no way of correcting it.
