Who doesn’t love a warm and fluffy piece of cornbread with their favorite homemade chili? It’s the absolute perfect combination- and this jalapeno cheddar cornbread is a leveled-up version of my simple cornbread recipe. This recipe comes together in minutes and is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Feel free to adjust the jalapeno amount to your spice preference!
Begin by pre-heating the oven to 400 degrees. Dice one of the jalapenos and slice the other into circles.
To a large bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda and combine. Carefully add the diced jalapeno, eggs, cheddar cheese, melted butter and milk to the bowl and mix well.
Grease an 8- or 9-inch round pan and pour the cornbread mixture into the pan. Top the cornbread with the sliced jalapenos.
Bake the cornbread at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
