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 have never really liked spicy-hot foods, but I love the flavor to jalapenos.
melissa says
can someone please tell me why the recipe calls for 2 seperate eggs and canola oil but there is no mention of the second egg or the oil in the baking intructions??? help! thanks in advance!!
Living the Gourmet says
Hi Melissa, thanks for stopping by. I just corrected it. So basically, just combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl, and then in a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients. Then fold both mixtures in together. I have edited the recipe and hope you find it to your understanding. Have a wonderful day and enjoy these muffins! If you have any more questions feel free to drop another comment.

I love all things spicy. My stomach doesn't care much for spicy, but I eat it anyway. I would love these muffins.

Those look good - never thought about putting zucchini in there!
Angie@Angie's Recipes says
These savoury corn muffins surely look delicious and great with some warming soup too.
Stephanie says
Oh my word! By themselves with butter or with a creamy soup would be lovely! Roasted jalapenos sound amazing right now. I only cook with them when I grow them. The season isn't long enough.
Cheers,
Stephanie

Dear Catherine,
Eating one of these corn muffins with jalapeno and zucchini will give you the energy to get you through the day...They look so good and a great combo with the cheddar cheese. A cup of coffee, tea, or even a bowl of soup would be wonderful to add one of these awesome corn muffins. Thanks for sharing.. Hope that your rest of the week is a blessing....

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