Kicks Like a Mule - Mexican Jalapeno and Cornbread Muffins! image

These lovely little cornmeal muffins have quite a kick to them, it's the jalapeno peppers! A very simple and easy recipe that goes so well with chili, stews, soups, chilli con carne or when served as an appetiser snack - split them in two and spread with savoury butters or serve with dips. I made these up as an experiment, and they turned out so well, that I am on my third batch already!

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover cornbread. They are also a great way to add some spice to your day.

I love the fact that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour. They are a healthier option than traditional cornbread muffins.

I made these muffins with gluten-free cornbread and they turned out great! They are a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

I'm not a big fan of jalapeños, but I still enjoyed these muffins. The sweetness of the cornbread balances out the spice of the jalapeños.
