Hatch Chile Cornbread Muffins

Prepare the Oven and Pan:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners or grease and flour each cup to prevent sticking.

Mix the Wet Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, combine milk, corn, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until well blended.

Combine the Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Assemble the Muffins:

  • Spoon a large dollop of batter into each prepared muffin cup, filling about one-third of the way.
  • Add a small amount of cheese and diced Hatch green chiles to each cup, dividing evenly. Reserve a little of both for topping.
  • Add another spoonful of batter to cover the fillings, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  • Sprinkle the tops with the reserved cheese and green chiles.

Bake and Serve:

  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and cheesy flavors!
