Easy Cornbread Muffin

Whoever’s still making sheet tray cornbread clearly doesn’t value personal space—or crispy muffin edges. These are loaded with cheddar and jalapeños (because “just a little” isn’t in my vocabulary), made rich with butter and buttermilk, and baked in muffin tins so everyone gets their own golden, fluffy bite. I split one open, added a chunk of butter and a drizzle of hot honey… and yeah, that’s the story. Pure summer joy!
