    Feta and Jalapeño Corn Muffins

    Feb 18, 2015 · 35 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    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!

    Living the Gourmet: Feta and Jalapeño Corn Muffins

    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.

      Dear Catherine,
      Undoubtedly a fabulous treat for anytime of the day. These Feta and Jalapeno Corn Muffins must be extremely tasty. Full of flavor and look so inviting. Never mixed in feta or jalapeno in corn muffins before, so this one is a must try. Like the idea of using the zucchini and saltine crackers. Very interesting ingredients. Love when you develop a recipe that have many ingredients that we would never think of using. Thank you for sharing your secrets…Have a Blessed week..Stay warm.
      Dottie 🙂

      Wow! I’ve made cheddar jalapeno corn muffins before but never thought to use feta. With some really good feta these are probably incredible! Can’t wait to try, thanks! xo

      Thank you for posting this- there are not enough recipes out there for savory baked goods and I don’t have a tremendous sweet tooth (I like sweets but always prefer the savory flavors first!). These look delicious!

      I stopped by from Mix it up Monday!
