Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 Large egg
- 6 slices Cooked bacon, finely chopped
- 2 Jalapenos, finely diced
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the tin with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped bacon, diced jalapenos, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
