Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°. Prepare muffin tins by lining and spraying, or if your muffin tin is well seasoned or you have the fancy silicone kind, just spray it with baking spray and skip the liners.

Step 2

Mix together the sugar, honey, and melted butter until they are combined. Add in your eggs, baking soda, and buttermilk. Whisk for 1 minute, or until the mixture is well combined. Add in the salt, cornmeal, and flour. Mix only until moistened. Do NOT overmix! Add in the jalapeno and cheddar last and gently stir in.

Step 3

Place in prepared muffin pan and fill until slightly heaped. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
