🥘 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.

Amy says
Did you seed your jalapeños first or leave in?
Megan says
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.
