Today I tried something new! I was looking for ideas to use our Jalapeños, which looks gorgeous and ready to be included in some great new recipes!
I had an idea: make jalapeño corn muffins, but the recipe I had was not diet friendly, so I changed a few ingredients, making a gluten free version of my husband’s favorite bread!
Ingredients:
3 tbsp of butter
1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 cup of honey
1/4 cup of sugar (granulated)
2 large eggs
1 cup almond milk
1 cup cornmeal or corn flour, which I buy at the Brazilian store, but it has no starch in it.
1 cup gluten free flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 jalapeño (large) cut in thin slices, with seeds removed
Instructions:
Preheat the oven 375F, grease a muffin pan with with non stick spray
Melt butter, add applesauce, sugar, honey, eggs and mix all the ingredients together.
Add salt, baking soda, half of jalapeño, almond milk and stir.
Add cornmeal, gluten free flour and stir, if it’s too thin, add a little bit more flour. Pour it on half of each muffin pan and bake it for 15-25 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: I added the jalapeño decor on top when it was half cooked, otherwise it would sink in! I used honey to drizzle while hot! It was soooo good!
Bom Apetite! Can’t wait to hear if you liked it! Give us a Trendy Shout!
Trying these at our Diva night
It doesn’t look like most gluten free goods I’ve seen. This looks so delicious!
Looks so yummy, good to know they are gluten free!
With the little bit of fire from those jalapenos, I’m all in! I’m not even gluten-free but I want them anyhow!
This will be great to try. My husband loves jalapeno cornbread, but he thinks he might have a gluten allergy.
This looks amazing! I love cornbread!
Yummers! These look delicious! I love that they are a gluten free option!
This is a great combination of flavors. Cornbread muffins is one of my favorite breads and I love it with chili. I will have to give this a try.
This is right up my alley, I love sweet and spicy combination. Yum, can’t wait to try it.
These sound really good-unfortunately I can’t eat Jalapenos anymore–my stomach would rebel! And even though I am not worried about Gluten free eating I think I might try to make these (without those hot peppers!)
