JALAPENO CHEDDAR CHEESE MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Muffins Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-43854

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
3 tablespoons pickled jalapeno, diced
12 pickled jalapeno rounds for topping
Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper for topping

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a 12 cup muffin tin and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir to incorporate. Before the mixture is entirely mixed, add the grated cheese and diced jalapeno. Stir to incorporate making sure that the mixture is evenly moistened and the cheese is well distributed. Divide batter between prepared muffin tins. Top each with a jalapeno round and sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Bake muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Muffins are best served warm. Tip: One note about using paper cupcake liners with these muffins! When warm, the muffins will stick to the paper. When muffins are room temperature, the papers will come out of the papers easily. To avoid this nonsense, just grease and flour a muffin tin instead of using cupcake liners.

You only need one bowl to mix this easy, cheesy, savory-and-sweet corn muffins.

Provided by Margarita Manzke

Categories     Summer     Bake     Muffin     Corn     Cornmeal     Bacon     Cheese     Cheddar     Jalapeño

Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

150g (¾ cup) fresh corn kernels or thawed frozen corn kernels
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ¼-inch pieces
150g (1 cup plus 3 Tbsp) all-purpose flour
115g (½ cup plus 1 Tbsp) granulated sugar
75g (½ cup) cornmeal
95g (¾ cup plus 2½ Tbsp) dried milk powder
12g (1 Tbsp) baking powder
5g (1 tsp) fine sea salt
2 eggs, whisked
90ml (¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp) canola oil
150ml (½ cup plus 2 Tbsp) water
60g (¾ cup) grated cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (40g / ¼ cup)
5g (¼ bunch) chives, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place the corn on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes, until the kernels have toasty brown spots. Set aside to cool.
  • Line a plate with paper towels.
  • Cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat has been rendered and the edges are golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the paper towels to drain. Set aside.
  • Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Put the flour, granulated sugar, cornmeal, milk powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, oil, and water; mix until well incorporated.
  • Add the corn, cheese, jalapeño, and chives; mix gently just until incorporated.
  • Spoon a scant 75g (⅓ cup) of batter into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the tops with additional cheese and the bacon.
  • Bake the muffins until golden brown around the edges and a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes, rotating the pan after 10 minutes to ensure even baking. Remove the muffins from the pan and cool completely on a cooling rack. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day (or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days).

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop the jalapenos, grate the cheddar cheese, and whisk together the wet ingredients before you start mixing the muffin batter. This will make the process go much smoother and faster.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no more.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost to the top: This will help the muffins rise evenly and create a nice dome shape.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help them set and prevent them from breaking apart.

Conclusion:

These jalapeno cheddar cheese muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or snack. They are perfect for on-the-go meals or for packing in lunches. With their spicy and cheesy flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
