These cornbread muffins are unbelievably easy to make, and incredibly delicious. I got the recipe out of the Cupcakes! from the Cake Mix Doctor cookbook which my future sister-in-law gave me for Christmas. (Along with a very cute apron, I might add!) If you've never heard of the Cake Mix Doctor, she takes box mixes and adds simple ingredientsto make something that is as easy as a box mix but tastes a little more homemade.
Trust me. These muffins are seriously easy, and seriously delicious.
Start with 1 fresh jalapeno pepper. Don't be scared.
Slice it in half, remove all the seeds and the membrane (this takes out most of the heat) and dice finely. Be careful not to touch your face or eyes after handling the pepper. Wash your hands thoroughly before moving on to the next step. This will sound silly to you, unless (like me) you've had hot pepper in your eye before.
Next, grate up about a cup of cheddar cheese.
I like mine extra sharp. (and I like to use a little more than a cup.)
In a medium sized bowl, mix 1 egg, a 4.5 oz can of chopped green chiles, and an 8.25 oz can of cream style corn. (if your can is off by .5 or .25 oz it's ok, this recipe isn't picky) Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
Add your grated cheese and diced jalapenos, then mix again.
Empty an 8.5oz box of corn muffin mix into a large bowl, and form a well in the center.
Add in your wet ingredients and stir about 20 times to combine.
You don't want to overmix.
Spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray, and spoon in your mix.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 13 minutes, up to 20 minutes for full size muffins.
Let cool on a rack, then serve.
Ingredient recap:
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 egg
4.5 oz can chopped green chiles
8oz can cream style corn
8.5oz box corn muffin mix
8.5oz box corn muffin mix
see, I told you it was easy.
Cheesy and Spicy is always a good combination! I'm gonna have to give these a try ;)

This looks really good! Do you drain the green chilies?

no draining, just dump the whole can in!
ReplyDeleteI want to know just two things, first one is, I am vegetarian so is there any other recipe that can I try and another point is I am following weigh loss plan so can I eat this or not ?
DeleteI dnt think iit gets more vegetarian than this.
Deletemy mom is making these right now ! :)

um ... it's easy because you make it from a can and a mix. any suggestions for how to substitute regular ingredients for those?
ReplyDeleteUm ... Your point? Corn muffin mix is just "regular ingredients" already measured for you, and canning is a great way of preserving food so you don't have to grow, harvest, chop and cook it. I'm not sure what the problem with that is?
DeleteClick. Add to favourites. This is a quick and easy way to spice things up! What a great idea for an improvisation on the regular. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi There,
ReplyDeleteIt looks so yumm guess it tastes delicious.
Cheer!

Hi Jamie, these look delicious! I have the same Wilton pan and was wondering how many muffins this recipe makes?
ReplyDeletehmmm... I should have written that down when I made them! I think it was at least one full pan and a half, so quite a few!
ReplyDeleteOmg! I hope mine look as good as yours... gonna try for dinner with some chili! Yum!
ReplyDeleteIve just made your recipe. They're in the oven as I type! I hope they turn out well. they smell delicious so far!
ReplyDeleteMaking them now!!! Can't wait to try them. Super easy to make. I will post and let you know how they were.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteWow Jamie, these muffins are awesome with my mama's white beans and ham. I have a restaurant size muffin pan so I doubled the recipe and froze half, still delish! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteturned out too runny for me... I like my corn bread a little cakey. maybe next time I would drain the cans before adding them, and not use all the creamed corn.
ReplyDeleteI made these two times already and they have always turned out just perfect. I add a bit more jalapeno because we love them so a bit spicier, but for us it works!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. Love the photos, makes the recipe seem better somehow. I plan to make these soon. I love all the ingredients and I'm sure my family would agree!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make these in a cake pop machine because my oven is broken. They look super yum!
ReplyDeletethese were so yum! made them with just jalapenos though.
ReplyDeleteThese were a big hit at the chili cook off today! Great recipe to make with soups since it's so easy and you're already doing about 200 other things when you're making soup/chili!
ReplyDeleteI just made them. I added fresh frozen corn from the summer and they turned out fabulous. Thanks for the the pictures really help a lot. They are picture perfect. :}
ReplyDeleteThese were great - nice and moist - I am not crazy about the green chiles though so next time I think I may try them with just jalapenos.
ReplyDeletefound you on pinterest
ReplyDeleteadorable muffins <3
Made these the other night to go with a veggie chili, they were SO GOOD! They are very moist, but I like them that way. I found that after letting them set/cool off for about 20 mins they aren't as gooey inside. They were still delicious straight out of the fridge as leftovers the next day too; I'll be making these regularly!
ReplyDeleteI think my hubby would love these..I know I would!
ReplyDeleteMaking these for the SECOND time! They are delicious...so good with a big pot of chili. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletei just wanna say, thanks! i'm going to a seafood boil tomorrow and i thought this sounded awesome. it was super easy to make... can't wait to try them soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! I always have boxed corn muffin mix in my pantry, but sometimes crave something more flavorful like this. Can't wait to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteOh.My.Word. I can't describe how DELICIOUS these are. Talk about a new favorite recipe. Yum yum yum ... thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just made these tonight, and my husband and son totally loved them! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying these this weekend - sounds delicious, and will go great with my spicy sausage and beer chili ;) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks for sharing this one, reminds me of a recipe I tried before called corn muffins recipe.
ReplyDeleteMaking my second batch as we speak and they are AMAZING! Perfect for a potluck dinner, which I'm ecstatic to share my Cheesy Jalapeno Cornbread muffins! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI love cornbread, and I like it spicy. Thanks for the recipe. The pictures look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI made these last year & won best cornbread at our annual chili cook-off at work. Going to make them again this year, hopefully I win again. :) I put my corn in the magic bullet to chop it up a bit more and added more cheese.
