Pineapple Jalapeños Corn Muffin- Slightly Sweet, Slightly Spicy and all parts Delicious.Only 30 minutes away from this these tropical Corn bread.
I love cornbread and corn muffins so I thought why not add some pineapple to my cornbread…. What could go wrong?
Well I did.
Let me just say this, it’s cold rainy winter day and I needed some corn bread to go with this bowl of Caribbean black bean. I think its’ crime not to have cornbread to with it; the result a super moist sweet tropically delicious cornbread. Its tender, buttery and slightly spicy .The flavor makes you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation but it’s only taking place in your mouth. Fancy that…
I have been making this for the past month now. And this is it for me! They have easily become an instant favorite. The pineapple is not overwhelming… it adds a wonderful, sweet flavor with a delicious textured cornbread.
Jalapeño adds the perfect amount of kick and compliments the pineapple beautifully
Man! It’s like they were meant to be, a perfect match.
This recipe is super simple and comes together in about 30 minutes. Most cornbread recipes typically use more much more flour than cornmeal, this is no exception it makes a light and soft and less crumbly. If you are want of those that prefer corny cornbread then switch it around and use more cornbread. Do not over do it because it might result in a dry cornbread. So go with half and half.
Am not changing a thing here. They come together so easy and are ready in about 30 minutes. I threw in some corn because just love biting into whole corn. Not necessary, just my thing
And if you want you can pair it with this Caribbean Black Bean Soup. YUM!
Enjoy!!!

Is it just me, or did you forget to mention WHEN to add the sugar? Some recipes have you add sugar to the wet ingredients. I’m sure it will be okay before or after, but I almost forgot about the sugar, (it was premeasured and sitting on the counter when I noticed it) so I am adding it with the pineapple.
