Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 c all purpose flour
1 c yellow cornmeal
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 c buttermilk, room temperature
1 large egg yolk
1/4 c corn kernals, fresh or frozen
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
1/4 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced

Steps:

1. Gather all ingredients for recipe.
2. Center rack in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray a regular-size muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chili powder and black pepper.
4. In a large measuring cup or another bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter and egg yolk together until well blended.
5. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and with the whisk or rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. The batter should be lumpy. Stir in the corn kernels, jalapeno and red pepper.
6. Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before removing each muffin to finish cooling.

Tips:

Choose fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
Use a variety of bell peppers for different colors and flavors.
Be sure to chop the peppers and corn into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.
Bake the muffins until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Corn and pepper muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover corn and peppers. With so many different variations to try, you're sure to find a corn and pepper muffin recipe that you'll love.
