Early Happy Cinco de Mayo amigas and amigos!! I definitely think these sweet jalapeño corn muffins are the perfect way to get the festivities started (well other than margaritas of course).
I have to say I’m usually a purist when it comes to my cornbread or corn muffins, in that I want them to be full on savory…these have definitely reformed me.
These are so deliciously moist, a little bit sweet and a lot spicy. Obviously you can definitely tone down how spicy you make your muffins if you don’t like it that hot.
I used a little over half of the can of jalapeños, and they are definitely hot, which I personally just love 🙂 These are so darn easy to make, so if you’re looking for something to throw together in a hurry, these are definitely it. Enjoy y’all!!

now add your flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda and baking powder…
