Learn how to make delicious Jalapeno cornbread waffles. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious waffles:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 2 jalapenos, finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Feel free to substitute the cheddar with Monterey Jack for a creamier texture, or use serrano peppers if you want to up the heat.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to whip up your jalapeno cornbread waffles:

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk and melted butter, stirring until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
  5. Fold in the corn kernels, jalapenos, and cheddar cheese gently.
  6. Grease the waffle iron lightly with cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup per waffle or as directed by your waffle iron’s size.
  7. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy on the edges, about 5-6 minutes per batch.
  8. Remove and keep warm in an oven set to low heat while you finish the remaining batter.

Remember, like my abuela, trust your senses here. The waffles should have a beautiful golden hue and a rich aroma that fills your kitchen.
