Bonne Maman then asked me to create a savory recipe for Mother’s Day with their preserves and it hit me. Blueberry jalapeño bacon cornbread muffins.

These muffins are stupid simple to make. In a little over 30 minutes, you have a little cup-sized breakfast that has everything you could ever want. The sweet and tart Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry Preserves mellow out the bites of bacon and the heat from the jalapeño.

I mean, just look at that swirl of blueberry goodness…

The muffins are soft and moist (*cringes* I still hate that word….), giving you little bits of all the flavors in every single bite you take.

Everyone will be clambering to devour these bad boys – just make sure you don’t let them before you bring one to your mama in bed!
