Ingredients

  • Cornbread Cupcakes
  • 1 8-ounce package corn muffin mix
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 15-ounce can cream style corn
  • 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup raw agave syrup
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1 large jalapeno, finely diced
  • Honey Butter Frosting
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix together the liquid ingredients (starting with creamed corn) plus the fresh corn into a smaller bowl. You can scrape the corn off the cob right into the bowl.
  • Slowly whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined. Add the jalapenos and stir until combined.
  • Spray a mini cupcake or muffin tin with cooking spray. Make sure you spray it good so the cupcakes don't stick. Fill each pocket with about 2-3 tablespoons of batter. Make sure you don't overfill - you need to give these babies some room to grow.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cupcakes are golden brown.
  • Mix together the softened butter and honey. Then slowly whisk in the sugar and salt. Using an electric mixer (or a strong arm) whisk the ingredients quickly until they achieved the desired frosting consistency. Put in the fridge to cool while the cupcakes are baking.
  • Once the cupcakes are done, let them cool completely. Top each cupcake with a small spoonful of frosting. You can add a few diced jalapenos are toppings for those who like a little extra spice.
