Jalapeño Cornbread
Jalapeño Cornbread blends cornmeal and all-purpose flour with diced jalapeños and sweet corn kernels to create a moist, slightly spicy bread. Apple cider vinegar and plant-based milk form a buttermilk substitute for tenderness, while baking soda and powder provide leavening. The result is a tender crumb with bursts of sweet corn and mild heat from the peppers.
