Inside: Find out how to make the most delicious jalapeno cornbread using simple, but tasty ingredients. 

We received a free Wolf Gourmet® Elite Countertop Oven with Convection in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. 

In Mexico, corn is an important part of the diet. You can find many different types of food that use corn – including Mexican street corn, esquite, and of course corn tortillas. 

That is why it is no surprise that I still love making recipes with corn here in the US. One recipe that I have always enjoy is cornbread. The standard version yuo find in the US is good, but I like to add some spice. That is why I created this delicious version of jalapeno cornbread to share with all of you.

The best part about this recipe is that you can use a cornbread mix, and just dress it up a bit to get all of the tasty flavors that you would expect from jalapeno cornbread. 

How Do You Make Jalapeno Cornbread

In order to make this cornbread, you will start with a box of cornbread mix from the store. However, you won’t just be following the instructions on the box. 

In addition to the mix, this recipe calls for chopped jalapenos, creamed corn, cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and bacon bits.

All you have to do to make it is mix all of the ingredients together and pour them into a pre-greased pan before baking in your oven. 

Since this is a side dish, sometimes the main ovens are busy making the main dish. That is why I love to make this recipe and others in my Wolf Gourmet® Elite Countertop Oven with Convection. It is the perfect size to fit on my countertop and it looks super sleek as well! 

I got one of these a couple months ago, and I have been using it ever since. I love that it has seven cooking modes – baking, broiling, toasting, reheating, and more. Although I didn’t use it for this recipe, it also has a built-in temperature probe so that is really convenient when you need to get the temperature just right. 

For this recipe, I used the baking pan that came with the oven and the results were great! I definitely recommend this as a second oven – especially because it doesn’t take up a ton of space!
