Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, use buttermilk instead of milk.

Adjust the amount of jalapeños to your preference for heat.

Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of each muffin before baking for a golden crust.

These muffins are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
