A Little Story:
Cornbread has always been a staple in my family's kitchen. The aroma of it baking would fill the house, signaling that something special was in the works. My grandmother's recipe, with its perfect balance of sweetness and heat from fresh jalapeños, was legendary at family gatherings.
When I had to switch to a gluten-free diet, recreating this family favorite was a top priority. After some experimentation, I'm thrilled to say these muffins capture the essence of my grandmother's recipe – fluffy, tender, and bursting with flavor. They've become a new tradition at our table, perfect for everything from barbecues to cozy dinners at home.
I hope these muffins bring a taste of comfort and a little spicy excitement to your meals too.
