Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Muffins FAQ

Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

Yes! These muffins are just as good on the second day as they are on the first, so if you need to do some meal prep ahead of time, do it!

How spicy are these muffins?

It depends on how spicy the jalapeños you put in the muffins are. If you are sensitive to spice, do a little taste test on the peppers. If they are super spicy, don’t stir as many in as the recipe calls for.

Are there any recommended substitutions or additions?

You can use Colby Jack cheese instead of shredded cheddar if that’s what you have around. You can also sub the buttermilk for regular milk (WHOLE) in a pinch, but they won’t be quite as good. Fair warning!
