Small cubes of peaches are swirled throughout this batter along with a bit of heat from crushed red chili peppers. The small flecks of both throughout make for one gorgeous Hot Pepper & Peach Cornbread Muffin and the sweet heat that they bring to the table is amazing.
It’s no secret. I absolutely love cornbread. LOVE. As in, I will plan a meal around it and not the other way around. As in I may have made these Hot Pepper and Peach Cornbread Muffins this week and didn’t end up cooking dinner so instead I had a couple – okay, I had four! – for lunch and then put the rest in my freezer for another day.
I’m a sweet cornbread type of gal and these muffins fit the bill and then some. But take note, there’s no sugar in this recipe! No, sir! The key ingredient to this recipe is Robert Rothschild Farm’s Hot Pepper Peach Preserves. Small cubes of peaches are swirled throughout the batter along with a bit of heat from crushed red chili peppers. The small flecks of both throughout make for one gorgeous cornbread muffin and the sweet heat that they bring to the table is amazing.
(This is also likely why I ate four with little to no guilt afterwards.)
In fact, this was the first time in my existence that I didn’t slather butter onto my cornbread. Read, did NOT. Don’t come rushing to check if I’m feeling okay, these cornbread muffins are just that good on their own. I did however have a couple with extra Hot Pepper Peach Preserves on top. I happen to be in the “you can’t have too much of a good thing” camp.
