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.

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....
