Sweet, buttery, and spicy. All the best flavors combined in a delicious muffin. With peach season coming to an end and pepper season in full swing, I had a surplus of both from our garden. The combination of the sweet peaches and the spicy jalapeños create a perfect balance.

Cornbread muffins are a great base for these ingredients as they are a heavier muffin creating a heartier texture that can hold the extra moisture from the peaches. I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free cornbread mix which makes these muffins super simple and quick to make. The recipe on the back of the bag is absolutely delicious; however because of the peaches and jalapeños, I decided to make a few adjustments. I use slightly less milk and butter and instead add some greek yogurt. The tang from the greek yogurt balances out the sweet corn and the peaches while also creating a moist cake-like texture.
