Jalapeno Corn Bread

I'm not usually a fan of corn bread, but when a neighbor made and shared this years ago, I liked it.

I used her recipe with a giant jalapeno from my garden, and made 18 muffins. I baked the muffins at 350 for 30 minutes.

Very moist, not gritty at all, but not hot at all either. When I tried a piece of the jalapeno raw, it was hot, but no heat in the muffins, darn it!

That looks wonderful!

I made homemade jalapeño bagels and the peppers were hot when raw but after cooking way too mild. Next time I added an extra pepper and some red pepper flakes, and they were excellent. I think the heat during cooking mellows the spicy/hot out of them.

I think I'm going to try a half-batch of these. I have to buy some creamed corn first. I never keep that on hand. Have you tried freezing them?

I haven't tried that, Cooksie, but I'm sure they would be fine.
