The combination of flavors in each one of these mini muffins really packs a punch! It’s a delightful combo of sweetness from the honey, a bit of heat from the jalapeños and hearty cornmeal. These are perfect side to serve with tacos or any Mexican dish. Try pairing them with the Crockpot Chicken Tacos we featured on the blog last week!

Tip:
Serving these warm are a MUST! Although you can save time and make these ahead of time, they really are best when they are just out of the oven. Of course you can pop them back in oven to warm them up just before you are ready to sit down too!
