Ingredients
- 1 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ ¾ cup cornmeal
- ¼ ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ ¼ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ ¾ teaspoon table salt
- ⅔ ⅔ cup buttermilk
- 2 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ½ ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¼ ¼ cup Chopped jalapeños seeds and ribs removed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease an 8x8 baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugars, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate dish or large measuring cup, whisk together buttermilk and eggs.
- While whisking, slowly drizzle in the melted butter until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and use a spatula to gently fold together until about 50% combined. Add chopped jalapenos and continue to stir until completely combined.
- Spread batter into prepared baking pan and transfer to center rack of oven. Bake for 27 minutes or until baked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes
- Feel free to add some corn into the batter if you’d like! Drained canned corn or thawed frozen corn would work well here.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- How spicy this cornbread is depends on the heat of your jalapenos, but note that most of the heat is stored in the seeds, which we aren’t using. This cornbread is mild enough my 3 year old will eat it without issue.
