Comforting, buttery cornbread goes with almost any meal. My family pines over it, and although it’s lovely, I have a recipe for sweet and spicy Bacon, Cheddar, and Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins that will knock your socks off.  Adding the quintessential flavors of rich, tangy cheddar cheese, and crisp, smokey bacon makes these muffins remarkable, but the depth and boldness of chopped jalapeno, make them soar to the heights of fantastic.  Krusteaz Gluten Free Honey Cornbread Mix makes these muffins so easy to make, and they turn out perfect every time.  My family loves these flavor packed muffins with BBQ, on the side with chili, or a Fall soup, or paired with any simple meal to make it hearty.  They are so versatile, and when I make a batch, they gobble them up fast. I never have leftovers, so you may want to make two batches while you're baking.

How to make my Gluten Free Bacon, Cheddar, and Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins using Krusteaz Gluten Free Honey Cornbread Mix:

Preheat the oven to 375 and line muffin tins with paper muffin liners.

Cook 6 slices of bacon until crisp.  Set on a paper towel to drain.  Crumble once cooled. Set aside.

Slice and remove seeds from two or three jalapenos.  Dice and set aside. 

Melt ⅓ cup of butter in the microwave – about 45 seconds  until just melted.  Set aside. 

To make the batter, start with 1 box Krusteaz Gluten Free Honey Cornbread Mix in a medium bowl.

Add 2 eggs lightly whisked with a fork, 1 cup milk (or milk alternative), ⅓ cup melted butter, stirring until blended.

Then add one 14 oz can of corn, drained, 2 or 3 diced jalapenos, 6 slices of bacon crumbled, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and fold in gently until combined.

Spoon batter into the muffin tins ⅔ of the way full.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean, and they are a golden brown color. Remove from the oven.

Cool for 5 minutes, and then remove muffins from the pan. Continue to cool until serving.

Serve warm with honey drizzled on top for extra sweetness.  Store leftover muffins in an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze.  Enjoy!

How to Store These Classic Muffins?

To store these delicious, easy muffins, you can leave them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 3 days. If you prefer to freeze them, then they will last for about 14 days.

Can we substitute any ingredients?

When it comes to this recipe you can add chopped chives or green onions. You use as many or as few jalapenos as you’d like, or you can skip them altogether. You can substitute any cheese you have on hand, or omit the cheese altogether; whatever your family loves, and your imagination desires.

I’m a busy mom of four who believes that living gluten-free should never mean giving up the foods you love. Whether you’re navigating celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or simply looking for delicious family-friendly recipes, my goal is to make gluten-free cooking easy, approachable, and full of flavor.

Here you’ll find everything from high-protein breakfasts and macro-friendly meals to comforting dinners, decadent desserts, and simple snacks the whole family will actually eat. Every recipe is created with real life in mind using easy-to-find ingredients, simple instructions, and plenty of options for customization.

Gluten Free Mom’s Table was built from my own family’s journey with celiac disease. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to find recipes that are both safe and satisfying. That’s why every recipe I share is designed to help take the stress out of gluten-free living while bringing everyone together around the table.

Whether you’re meal prepping for the week, looking for healthier family meals, creating protein-packed recipes to help you reach your nutrition goals, or simply searching for a gluten-free dessert that tastes like the original, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here.

My mission is simple: to prove that gluten-free food can be just as comforting, delicious, and memorable as any traditional recipe. Because food is more than just nourishment. It’s about creating memories, celebrating milestones, and gathering with the people you love.
