Adding cheese and jalapeno makes a fantastic corn muffin recipe. CG cooks up a tasty corn muffin with whole kernel corn to make them super moist and flavorful. If you’re not a fan of hot jalapenos, then try substituting milder pickled jalapenos which are often sold right alongside jars of hotter peppers at the grocery store. Topping the muffins with sliced jalapeno makes them look so good!
