Rob isn’t big on sweets, but I definitely love to bake – so I have also gotten good at putting together savory baked treats as well. Stage right, Man Muffins. Muffins are usually fruity, but not these beauties.
Below are the simple steps, and photos, to making these crowd pleasers. I usually serve them alongside chili or soup – but you can’t really go wrong with these.
Man Muffins AKA: Jalapeno & Cheddar Corn MuffinsBake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes Yield: 20 muffins
2 pkgs of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix <– Save yourself the trouble of measuring when you’re feeding large groups/appetites.
1 c. milk
2 eggs
1 can diced jalapenos
About 1/4 c. sharp cheddar cheese <– To be mixed into the batter.
More cheese for sprinkling
Throw all of the ingredients in together (except the cheddar that you are saving to sprinkle).
Fill the cups about halfway and sprinkle a healthy pinch on top. I use a small cookie scoop to get the batter in the muffin cups, it’s not as messy as using a spoon. I do this so that I am sure that each one is equal, which makes sure that they all bake and finish together and so that you don’t have a muffin top spilling out. <– This must be where the term “muffin top” came from, yes?
Place them on the center rack at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the cheese top is brown and gorgeous. These Man Muffins are baking in a very manly set of camo paper cups. Pretty cute, huh?
Tada! Man Muffin success! Enjoy and if you make them, let me know how you change it up or how they turn out. :)
Happy baking!

Sara – The boys will love them! I have a rockin’ chili recipe too that it easy easy. Do you still need a crock pot? I meant to ask you the other day. Just make sure to make a lot of muffins. And remember, Camo cake cups = bonus points. ;)

I just use the small one from the grocery store. I think they’re little 6 oz cans?
