    Honey Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread is not only delicious on its own, but it’s also out of this world when served with some flavorful homemade chili!

    two squared honey cheddar jalapeno cornbread slices on top of aluminum foil with a jalapeno pepper in the back ground and an iron skillet.

     

    I’ve been making this cornbread recipe for as long as I can remember. The jalapenos, brown sugar, honey, and cheddar cheese, however, are new additions. And oh they’re here to stay. I’m never making regular cornbread ever again. This cornbread is the most delicious cornbread I’ve ever had.

     

    I think chili and cornbread are a match made in heaven. They just go so well together. Therefore I do think that cornbread should have a bit of a crumble to soak in that chili but I still like a moist semi sweet cornbread. This cornbread has the perfect sweetness to it.

     

    The original cornbread recipe I used for years didn’t require brown sugar or honey but once I added cheddar cheese and jalapenos it killed some of its sweetness, so I had to improvise.

     

    a cast iron skillet with cornbread and a honey comb and small bowl with syrup. A jalapeno pepper in the background.

    How to serve this Honey Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread

    Dunk this cornbread in some flavorful homemade chili or serve this with some creamy smothered chicken thighs. Your call.

     

    a honey comb pouring maple syrup over two slices of cornbread.

      I used pickled jalapeños and it ended up quite spicy. I brushed some honey on the top when it was done baking to cut the heat. It was Delicious. I’ll make this again for sure.
