Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ cups finely shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 canned jalapeno peppers – stems and seeds removed and peppers finely diced
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted – divided
  • 3 tablespoons yellow cornmeal, or as needed – divided

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2
Whisk flour, 1 cup cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Mix Cheddar cheese into dry ingredients until coated.

Step 3
Beat milk, eggs, vegetable oil, jalapeno peppers, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until well mixed. Make a well in the Cheddar cheese mixture and pour egg mixture into the well; stir just until combined. Batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4
Brush 18 mini muffin cups with melted butter; spoon about 1 teaspoon cornmeal into each mini muffin cup, tilt pan to coat muffin cups with cornmeal, and tap out the excess. Spoon batter into each muffin cup to about 2/3 full.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 11 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes in the pans before removing to finish cooling.

Cook’s Note:

You can use Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Asiago cheese.
