Mini Jalapeño and Chipotle Cornbread Loaves with Tupelo Honey Butter
There’s a lot to say about this cornbread: tender, spicy, moist, hot… corny.
But one thing you definitely can’t say: boring.
Some friends threw together an honest-to-goodness Texas barbecue last weekend (we’re talking smoked, not grilled, meat). I knew there’d be lots of sweet and spicy BBQ sauce, so I brought cornbread to share (and to mop my plate).
Alright, I’ll admit I kinda cheated because I used Bob’s Red Mill Stone Ground Cornbread Mix instead making it from scratch. But c’mon, I added a lot of love with the fresh jalapeño, corn and chipotle.
I baked and served individual loaves in these Rectangular Mini-Loaf Oven-Safe Paper Baking Pans my pals at Welcome Home Brands sent. I love this collection because the colorful pans add a little pop to the presentation… and I don’t have to clean dirty baking dishes (plus plus plus)! (You can also use a muffin baking pan.)
The best part? Everyone gets their OWN loaf!
