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.
