How to Make Jalapeno Cornbread
Set your oven to 400 degrees.
Use the baking spray to grease a 9 x 9″ or 9 x 13″ for thinner bread. Add parchment paper to the bottom of the pan with a little excess (about 3″) to lift out the bread when it is done.
Add the butter and sugar into a large bowl and combine until smooth.
Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, honey, and eggs.
Combine 1/2 of the milk mixture with 1/2 of the dry mixture and whisk to combine after each addition. Continue until you use all of the batters.
Add in the Jalapenos and fold in to combine.
Evenly spread the mixture into the prepared pan.
Place in the oven for 25 minutes or until the center is set. Check this by placing a toothpick in the middle and it should come out clean.
Place on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before enjoying.
