Forget about plain old, store-bought crackers to go with your homemade chili. These jalapeño cornbread muffins make for a much more exciting side dish than anything you'll find at your local grocery store.

Here's what you need to get started…

Ingredients To Gather: 

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons honey
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Once you have everything you need….

The Step By Step Directions To Follow: 

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, stir butter, sugar and honey together. Whisk in eggs and buttermilk. Add cornmeal, flour, salt and baking soda. Do not over-mix. As soon as the flour disappears, stop mixing. Fold in jalapeno and cheese.
• Divide batter equally between the cups of a greased or lined muffin tin, filling almost to the top. Bake for 25 minutes. Prick the center of one muffin with a toothpick and make sure it comes out clean. If not clean, bake for about 5 more minutes.

Like I said, these can even be eaten on-the-go or during the big game on a Sunday afternoon! It's up to you. Just make sure you have something to drink to wash down the jalapeño!
