Indulge in the perfect blend of sweet and spicy with this Honey Jalapeno Cornbread. It's jam-packed with flavor, and is almost guaranteed to steal the show of your next cookout!
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Grease a 4 x 9-inch loaf pan with unsalted butter.
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until incorporated.
Add milk, oil, honey, and beaten egg. Stir until completely combined and smooth. Fold in the diced jalapenos.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 30 to 35-minutes or until lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean - or- an instant read thermometer registers 195 - 200ºF in the center.
Remove cornbread from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5-minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool to room temperature. Cut into ¾ to 1-inch slices and serve.
Optionally (and highly recommended!), spread both sides of each slice with softened, unsalted butter and toast for several minutes in a large skillet heated over medium-high heat until lightly crisp and browned.
