Double Corn & Green Chile Muffins

by Salad Foodie
Time: 20 minutes prep, 15 minutes cook
Servings: 13
 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin pan with vegetable spray or line with paper liners and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and cheese. In a smaller bowl, lightly beat the egg; add the milk, oil, corn, and chiles, and mix together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full of batter (My batch had enough extra batter for 2 more muffins.)
  3. Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of muffin comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and continue cooling on the rack.

Whole kernel corn adds texture, flavor and moistness to ordinary cornmeal muffins. Add to that sharp cheddar cheese, green chiles plus your choice and amount of "heat" seasoning and you've a nice accompaniment to a bowl of beans, chili, or southwestern soup.

      Hi Salad Foodie:
      These muffins sound tasty. Since I am going to make a bunch of chili soon and freeze it in containers these will make a nice accompaniment. I like the addition of corn and diced green chiles. I have added the post to my Try Soon folder. Thanks for sharing!
      Best Regards,
      Bob
