I’m SO excited to introduce y’all to my all-time favorite cornbread recipe — Green Chile Cornbread Muffins! This is literally the EASIEST recipe and is completely FOOLPROOF! Double win. Oh, and did I mention that you can whip up the batter and get these muffins in the oven in 5 minutes or less!

This recipe was born several years ago when I was wanting a super flavorful cornbread to go along with my White Chicken Chili Soup! There is just something about making cornbread and soup in the fall that gives me all the feels and makes my heart so happy. 🙂 I literally make this cornbread a minimum of 10 times every single year — it’s one of my favorite go-to recipes!

I went back and forth on what to “officially” name this recipe because it’s basically a sweet & savory Mexican cornbread. Ultimately, I decided to call it Green Chile Cornbread since the green chiles are the star ingredient! 😉 One of the key elements to this recipe is using good ole’ Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. As many of you probably know, Jiffy is a super sweet cornbread & is the perfect match with the Mexican cheese, whole kernel corn, and green chiles.
