These Vegan Jalapeño Cornbread Muffins are the perfect combo of sweet and spicy. Serve with vegan butter for a delicious & savory side dish.
October is flying by.
Halloween is less than two weeks away and it will be Thanksgiving before we can even blink.
Which has me thinking about what I am going to serve at my house.
Of course you have your staples - mashed potatoes & gravy, dressing/stuffing, cranberry sauce.
And then you have some wiggle room to try something new.
So, why not switch up the traditional dinner roles with these Vegan Jalapeño Cornbread Muffins?
Nothing screams Fall flavor like cornbread does, and the addition of jalapeños gives these a zing that will have you coming back for more.
I love eating these with a smear of vegan butter.
Pure heaven!

BUTTERMILK IS NOT VEGAN......
Hi Eileen - before you leave a comment you should read the ingredient list. I made vegan "buttermilk" by combining non-dairy milk with vinegar. It has a similar taste. Have a great day.
