CORNBREAD-JALAPENO MUFFINS



Cornbread-Jalapeno Muffins image

I created this recipe when my wife offered to bring something to her brother Justin's New Year's Eve party. In a way that only those who are brought up together can get away with, she was told that he never likes anything that she brings. He then relented and said she could bring the cornbread. After a bit of experimenting, this is what we came up with. Everyone at the party agreed that this cornbread was awesome, and much better than any cornbread Justin ever made. Gotta love sibling rivalries.

CHEESY CORNBREAD MUFFINS WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER



Cheesy Cornbread Muffins With Hot Honey Butter image

Smoky chipotle takes these muffins into savory territory, but this recipe can be used purely as a blueprint: Want them a bit sweeter? Lose the minced chipotle chiles, and increase the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. Need them to hold up to a heavily spiced pot of chili? Double the chipotles en adobo, add 1/4 cup minced red onion and a dash of ground cumin, onion powder or garlic, perhaps. Whatever you add, don't overmix: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (a few lumps are O.K.) before folding in the cheese for muffins that are rich but not dense.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle en adobo sauce
Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
1 1/4 cups/195 grams medium cornmeal
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick)
2/3 cup/160 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/120 milliliters sour cream
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons minced chiles en adobo (optional)
1 cup/115 grams grated sharp white Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
3 tablespoons very thinly sliced scallions or chives
Sliced jalapeño, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the hot honey butter: In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup/1 stick softened butter with the honey and chipotle en adobo sauce. Refrigerate while muffins bake.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and generously grease the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pepper and salt.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 1/2 cup/1 stick softened butter over low heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, eggs, melted butter and the minced chipotle chiles, if using.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir using a rubber spatula until almost combined but still a little lumpy. Fold in the Cheddar and scallions, and stir until just combined.
  • Transfer the muffin batter in 1/4-cup portions to the prepared muffin tin. Top each muffin with a jalapeño slice, if desired, and bake until the tops are golden and the muffins are cooked through, about 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the muffin tins before carefully transferring to a wire rack, running a knife around the rims to release the muffins, if necessary. Serve warm or at room temperature, with honey butter.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings; makes 9 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 32

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 large jalapeño, minced
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, finely diced (about 1/4-inch dice)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound 80% lean ground beef chuck
8 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red or orange bell pepper, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
One 28-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
Two 15.5-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
Two 4-ounce cans diced mild green chiles
Diced avocado, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Fresh cilantro, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and generously spray 9 cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter and dark brown sugar in a large bowl. Fold the cornmeal mixture, jalapeños and Cheddar into the buttermilk mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are some small lumps).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 9 greased muffin cups. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then run an offset spatula around the edges of each muffin and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • For the taco soup: While the muffins bake, make the taco soup. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chili powder, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the beef broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and green chiles, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then simmer, partially covered, until the meat and beans are very tender and the sauce thickens slightly, 35 to 45 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with diced avocado, sour cream and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and the Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Muffins.

Provided by Bryant Terry

Categories     Muffin     Bake     Corn     Vegan     Vegetarian     Breakfast     Fourth of July     Bread     Juneteenth

Yield Makes 9 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 21

Cornbread Muffins:
3 tablespoons coconut oil, plus more for greasing
6 pitted Medjool dates
Boiling water
¾ cup medium-grind yellow cornmeal
¾ cup flour
2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 heaping tablespoons freshly ground golden flaxseeds
1 cup unsweetened oat milk
Whipped Sweet Corn:
3 tablespoons vegan butter
¼ cup finely diced white onion
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
2 teaspoons coconut palm sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
½ cup Cashew Cream
Fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground white pepper
Jalapeño Pepper Jelly, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the muffins: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Generously coat nine wells of a standard muffin tin with coconut oil.
  • Put the dates in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for about 5 minutes. Drain the dates, reserving the soaking liquid, and transfer them to a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved soaking liquid and process, scraping down the sides and adding more of the reserved soaking liquid if necessary, until mostly creamy but with a few chunks remaining.
  • Place the prepared muffin tin in the oven to heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until blended.
  • Put the flaxseeds and 6 tablespoons water in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Whisk in the pureed dates and the coconut oil until smooth. Whisk in the oat milk until well combined. Add the oat milk mixture to the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
  • When the muffin tin is hot, remove it from the oven and immediately scrape the batter into the prepared muffin cups, distributing it evenly among them (they should be a little over three-quarters full).
  • Bake until the muffins are golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool a bit more.
  • Make the whipped sweet corn: While the muffins are cooling, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring often, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the corn, sugar, and salt and cook, stirring often, until the corn is just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Scrape the contents of the skillet into a food processor. Add the cashew cream and process until silky smooth, adding water as necessary to reach the desired consistency. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt, and white pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the warm muffins slathered with whipped sweet corn and topped with pepper jelly.

  • Bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Use a paring knife to remove each muffin, flipping it to reveal the caramelized pineapple before placing on a plate. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve!

Categories     Thanksgiving

Time 1h15m

Yield 30 muffins, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 (12 ounce) boxes cornbread stuffing mix (I like the Trader Joe's kind- includes a seasoning packet)
2 (32 ounce) boxes low sodium chicken broth (I like College Inn)
1 lb sweet Italian sausage (I like the Publix kind that comes in one long casing- easier to cut, vs. several sausages)
1 1/2 cups diced onions (yes- why bother dicing yourself?)
1 1/2 cups diced celery (again... )
1 1/2 cups diced shallots, onion, and garlic (this is a killer mix I found at Trader Joe's)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 eggs
2 (12 ounce) bags fresh cranberries
2 -3 cups orange juice
1 1/2 cups spicy pecans (can be found at Trader Joe's, or use regular pecans)
1 full orange, zest of
2 1/2 cups brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray cooking spray into muffin pan.
  • In large skillet, heat olive oil to high heat. Slit sausage casing, and remove ground sausage. Break up sausage in pan, then turn to medium heat just before fully cooked. Add the three containers of onions, garlic, shallots, and celery and cook all until sausage is done and onions are translucent. Add seasoning packet that came with Stuffing mix (or not, if you bought the kind that's pre-seasoned), and add one of the chicken broth boxes. Heat all ingredients until bubbly, then add thyme and sage just before removing from heat.
  • Pour all stuffing mix all into one very large bowl. Then pour all contents of pan plus the additional box of broth over stuffing mix. Stir all together with two large serving spoons. Set aside.
  • Rinse and drain cranberries, then heat in orange juice until juice is boiling and all cranberries pop open and become mushy. Watch that the juice doesn't boil over, so turn it down to low and keep it at a simmer. In a food processor, pulse orange zest and pecans together to get a medium ground. Strain cooked cranberries from orange juice and mix them with the zest, pecans, and brown sugar.
  • Just before baking, add the four eggs to the stuffing mix. Stir well, coating all stuffing.
  • Spoon stuffing into muffin cups, halfway, and make a bit of a well for the cranberry filling. Just not all the way to the bottom. Spoon about 1 ½ tablespoon of cranberry filling into each muffin cup, then come back over and fill the muffins the rest of the way, covering the cranberry filling entirely. They won't rise, so they can be filled to the top. Keep the cranberry filling buried within the stuffing, since the filling is sugary and will caramelize when baked, and you don't want it to cause the muffin to stick into the pan.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 45-55 min, or until bubbly and golden brown/crusty on top. Let cool in muffin pans and run a butter knife around the inside of each cup to loosen each muffin. That way if any of the cranberry filling has leaked out and gotten sticky, it won't cause the muffin to break apart. They will be dense so it's best to use a plate upside down on top of the muffin pan, then flip over to remove the muffins. Makes 30 large muffins.

Bacon-Peanut Butter Cornbread Muffins image

My family just can't get enough bacon and peanut butter, so I created these quick and easy cornbread muffins using ingredients I regularly keep stocked in my pantry and fridge. The streusel topping adds a delicious sweet-salty crunch! No peanut butter baking chips on hand? For a different flavor twist, swap in chocolate chips, then drizzle the warm muffins with chocolate syrup instead of caramel topping. -Shannon Kohn, Summerville, South Carolina

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your muffins a more flavorful and moist texture. If you don't have fresh cornmeal, you can use store-bought cornmeal, but make sure it's finely ground.
  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk helps to make the muffins light and fluffy. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: The muffins will rise as they bake, so don't fill the muffin cups all the way to the top.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature will help them to rise quickly and evenly.

Conclusion:

Cornbread muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
