Crumbled feta; roasted jalapeno; sprinkled spices on top; these are not your average corn muffins- they are better, and loaded with one delicious surprise after another!
Zucchini corn muffins are always a treat; however add roasted jalapeño and feta cheese and it is even better.
I like to use up everything before I go to the market. I had one jalapeño and two zucchini left on hand. Homemade muffins are always comforting, especially in the winter.
