This is a delicious corn bread muffin recipe that has a delightful balance of sweet and hot. The brown sugar gives them their sweetness, and the serrano peppers give them their heat. Serve them with a bowl of hot chili for a great lunch or dinner!

Notes

The recipe makes 8 very large muffins. For smaller size muffins, use standard muffin cups and make sure you reduce the baking time a little bit.

This recipe sounds very unique and different. I will have to give it a try. I am not fond of sweet and heat together, but I don't think there is enough sweet to make a difference. Does it have to be made with cake flour? Can you make it with regular flour and if so would it be the same amount?
