Instructions

  1. Grease pan: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease a 9X9 inch baking dish with butter (or cooking spray).
  2. Whisk wet ingredients: Whisk eggs, sour cream, melted butter and honey, if using, in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the Jiffy corn muffin mix. At first, it will feel like you don’t have enough liquid, but as you mix, it will come together.
  4. Stir in mix-ins: Fold in the chopped jalapenos and cheddar cheese.
  5. Bake: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly throughout the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let it cool for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Notes:
  • This will create a smoother, well-mixed batter.
  • It’s important to drain canned jalapenos before mixing them into the cornbread mix, or you run the risk of making the batter too wet. I like to drain and even pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • It adds a visual appeal and another level of cheesy goodness. It is optional, but a few jalapeno slices on top adds a nice touch, too.
  • Prepare the jalapeno cornbread as directed. Spread into an even layer into a very well-greased / buttered 10-inch cast iron skillet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-22 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
  • To make corn muffins, prepare the corn muffin batter as directed. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with
  • parchment paper liners
  • (affiliate link). Divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-23 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers spring back to the touch. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then serve warm or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. This cheesy jalapeno cornbread recipe will make 12 muffins.
