The Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Also grease a 12 muffin pan with non-stick vegetable spray.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and cook until soft. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Whisk together the milk, eggs, honey in a bowl. Add the bell pepper, jalapeno, and honey.

In another bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt

Mix the flour mixture with the milk and eggs mixture to make into a batter. Do not overmix!

Pour the batter into each muffin cup and bake for about 16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.

Happy Cooking!
