When I added some extra ingredients to my family’s traditional cornbread recipe, it was initially met with a strong dislike. When I finally got my family member to give my spicy cornbread a try, they couldn’t believe how good it was! In fact, this recipe is what won over my mother in law!

I added bell peppers, corn, and a chopped jalapeno. It’s a little spicy, extra moist, and still has that great cornbread texture. If you don’t like spicy food, you can leave the jalapeno out, but I think that’s what really makes my cornbread unique and delicious!

1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup buttermilk
