Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 8.5 oz) corn muffin mix
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional for savory filling)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (optional for sweet filling)
- 0.25 cups strawberry jam (optional for sweet filling)
- 2 tablespoons diced jalapeños (optional for savory filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease or line a muffin tin with papers.
In a mixing bowl, combine the corn muffin mix, milk, and egg. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
If making the savory version, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños. If making the sweet version, set the cream cheese and strawberry jam aside for the filling.
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin tin cavity to create a base layer.
For savory muffins: Add a small pinch of additional cheese or diced jalapeño into the center of the batter. Add another tablespoon of batter over the filling to seal it in.
For sweet muffins: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry jam into the center of the base batter. Cover with another tablespoon of batter to seal it in.
Repeat this process until all muffin cavities are filled, being careful not to overfill the tins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the non-filled edge comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
