Jalape\u00f1o Cornbread: Cornbread With a Punch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our home, we eat anything we can spicy. Whether it be sprinkling on some hot sauce or shaking on some red pepper flakes, we like the added punch. To the point that sometimes we willingly put ourselves through some torturously spicy experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, every Christmas for the last several years, our family buys some of the hottest hot sauces we can find, we pour little bits of each on a plate, and whoever dares dips a chicken nugget into each one and gives them a try. Needless to say, people are crying, cups of milk are downed, and it’s a ridiculous time. While this Jalape\u00f1o Cornbread recipe doesn’t pack that <\/em>much of a punch, it’s the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. It definitely ticks the ‘spicy’ box off the list if that’s your thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Jalape\u00f1o Cornbread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first time I had Jalape\u00f1o Cornbread I was not expecting the spice. I had already added my usual spicy additions, dipped it in some hot sauce, and then I took a bite. It was a mouthful of spiciness (lol), but the flavors of the cornbread came through! It was so so good, and every bite I had after that required zero added spice. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s so nice about cornbread in general is, it’s such an easy make. If you want to impress your friends while putting very minimal effort into a side dish, shoot for cornbread. And if you have friends\/family who love spice like my family? This recipe is an amazing option. I personally am not a fan of raw jalape\u00f1os in my food, but cooked jalape\u00f1os mixed in with other tasty ingredients is always delicious! So, if you have friends who have a personal preference against jalape\u00f1os, they may unexpectedly love this, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
