I have to admit these muffins are not quite as good as my Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Muffins. They are not as spicy, in fact the only spice I got from these muffins is when I bit into the jalapeño on top.
However these muffins, came out in a nice muffins form, unlike my other jalapeño cornbread muffins and I love the jalapeño slice on top, such a nice touch.
The worst thing bout these muffins is they only make 11..... 11. The fact that they only make 11 and not 12 drives me nuts. I tried to spread the batter out to make 12, but then the muffins would of been too short. So 11 muffins I made. Oh well, even though they only made 11, they still tasted good.
