Dinner was nearly done, when I realized I had a roasted jalapeño leftover in the fridge. I had not made muffins in a while so I thought why not make jalapeño corn muffins??!
I also had a zucchini in my veggie bowl that needed to be used up. It added to the wonderful texture of the corn muffins. These certainly turned out nice and were terrific warm with butter.

I love jalapenos! What a smart idea to add zucchini to the cornbread since cornbread is normally so dry.
