Who said muffins have to be sweet? I am a big fan of corn and jalapenos but never thought would make muffins with them together. Here they are. The muffin is light, creamy, little savory and kick in it, and NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE SURGAR AND FAT!!

YUMMY! Just the right amount of spice. LOVED them! Maybe combine the two recipes? adding the corn like in the other one?

Good idea, mix in some fresh or frozen corn, which adds some extra texture in the muffin, would be good too!
