Secret Recipe Club – Cheddar Jalapeno Beer Muffins
September 19, 2011 in breads
It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club post!
This month I was assigned Join Us, Pull Up a Chair which is a great blog written by Heather. She is a much more adventurous cook than I am so I had so much fun going through her archives and found quite a few recipes that tempted me. I finally settled on her Jalapeno Cheddar Beer Bread.
I turned the bread into muffins just because I prefer the portability of muffins over a bread. They had great flavor with just the right amount of spice. And the oozy cheese on top? The best part, of course! These muffins are pretty dense so I think they’d be beyond amazing with maybe half cornmeal/half flour. The beer wasn’t super noticeable but I did like that it gave the batter a nice spring.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a muffin pan or line with paper liners. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the chopped jalapenos and cheddar cheese. Pour in the beer into the mixing bowl and mix until blended.
- Pour mixture into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with lots of butter!
Those look delicious! I totally forgot that today was a reveal day – love this club! Now I need to check out the list while I put these on my lists of must make soon!
What a cool recipe! I love that they are muffins. Now I want a big biwl of chili to go with it.
I’ve made jalapeno cheddar bread, but adding beer??? A stroke of genious! And I adore the idea of making bread into muffins!
*genius…too early to spell things correctly.
I’m so glad you like the recipe! It’s one of my favorites to make. I’m definitely going to be making them into muffins next time – especially since I have about 2 dozen jalapenos to use up!
Look at all that wonderful cheese!! Reading through all of these SRC recipes has me anxious for my next assignment already.
This looks like a great recipe. It is fun cooking with you in the SRC. Hope you are having a great day and thanks for sharing!

Hoooow can you go wrong with beer, cheddar AND jalapenos? You cannot, that is right!
I love beer bread so I’m sure I’d love these too!…perfect to go with soup!
Love that you made these into muffins and they look wonderful.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my group “A” SRC recipe this month: Welsh Cakes.

I think the only thing that could possibly make these muffins better is bacon, they sound great!
these sound awesome :) Love your leopard baking cups!
Making these! My husband is a homebrewer, so I’m always looking for recipes that incorporate beer. Thanks!
I’ve made beer bread before, however, I like the idea of putting it in muffin tins. Bite sized. They look terrific!
These muffins instantly caught my eye as I was perusing over all of the photos in the blog hop. This one jumped out at me and I’ve been super excited to check it out! I can’t WAIT to make these muffins. Cheese and beer, need I say more?

Yum! Looks great — I’m loving SRC, so many great new recipes to try! These would be great with chili this fall and winter.
Oh my goodness, I would devour these for breakfast. And snack time. YUM :D
These look delicious! Love the flavors. Perfect with a bowl of soup.
Oh my! These look really good and I love how u’r dressed them up. Very pretty cupcake liners!
I think these have the most amazing name appeal, and I would try them :)
The muffins look amazing!
And thank you for being a part of the SRC with me (group b). I am excited and looking forward to next month too!
Here is what I posted this month: Pioneer Woman’s Chicken Pot Pie

great idea to turn these into individual servings! These would go great with a bowl of chili!
mmm perfect!
Love the idea of beer in these muffins :) Fun being in the Secret Recipe Club with you. I baked up tarts this month for Group C http://su.pr/2rtACr
These were awesome beyond awesome. I don’t normally like muffins, but I had to force myself to stop eating these and bring the rest to work. My coworkers couldn’t stop eating them. I don’t know how many calories they have, but they are damn good.
What kind of beer did you use?
I’m almost positive I used Natural Light or something equally cheap. It didn’t have a huge effect on the flavor. Thanks for reading and commenting! :)
