Notes
Extra Flavor & Serving Tips:
For a bit of extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or finely chopped jalapeños to the batter.
These cornbread poppers are delicious served with extra honey or a dollop of butter on top.
If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can bake them in a regular muffin tin, but adjust the baking time.
