Ingredients
Zucchini Cornbread Muffins
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour gluten-free, if needed
- ¾ cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk can use milk
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 2 medium zucchini about 2 packed cups grated and squeezed of liquid
- Optional: 1 jalapeño minced and a few slices
Chili Honey Butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter. Grate the zucchinis using the large holes of your box grater. Take a handful of grated zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Repeat until you've squeezed dried all the zucchini.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sea salt, and chili powder.
- Add the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter and whisk to combine.
- Add the zucchini, cheddar cheese, and, if using, the minced jalapeño, and stir together.
- Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups - you can fill them all the way to the top. If you'd like, top the muffins with a thin slice of jalapeño. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
- While the muffins are baking, make the honey butter. Mix the honey, melted butter, and chili powder in a small bowl.
- Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes and then remove them from the tin and let them cool on a baking sheet. Serve the chili honey butter on the side or drizzle over top.
