I just completed this recipe this evening for dinner and it came out very well. I changed it a bit by adding the jalapenos and cheese into the batter and they came out light with a slight heat to them. They were GREAT!

I made these (with the sour cream option) and they came out great! They are definitely a change-up for regular corn bread, but still satisfy that corn bread craving. I actually made these in mini-muffin tins because I also made a regular corn bread (for those less adventurous in my family). I baked them at the same temperature but for about 15 - 20 minutes (keep an eye on them). I would definitely bake these again, possibly for like a brunch or breakfast party or even the next time we have chili for dinner!
