Homemade Honey Jalapeño Cornbread Recipe

Nothing says Southern more than a big slice of sweet and spicy Honey Jalapeño Cornbread! It's incredibly easy to make by simply mixing up cornmeal with honey, sweet corn kernels, and diced jalapeños. But my true secret: using a medium-grit cornmeal to give it that chewy bite!

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl whisk together eggs, butter, milk, and honey. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir by hand until just combined. Mix in diced jalapeños and corn.
  3. Spray an 8 x 8-inch or a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour cornbread batter into the dish and spread until smooth.
  4. Bake cornbread in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top begins to crack and the edges are slightly browned.
  5. Allow cornbread to rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with additional butter or honey.

Notes

  • Prep-Ahead: Make the cornbread and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Storage: Seal in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. To freeze, wrap individual pieces in wax paper and place in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 4-6 months.
  • Reheating: Warm slices of the bread in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or pop it in the toaster oven for a few minutes.
