PARTNER POST: Weāve teamed up with Bonne Maman to bring you the best homemade breakfast and brunch recipes to show Mom you care this Motherās Day and all spring long.
These blueberry jalapeƱo cornbread muffins with bacon will wake up your taste buds with their fun combination of sweet, spicy and savory flavors. They’re perfect for brunch!
Cornbread is one of my favorite breads out there, and for a bread-lover like myself to say that, you know thatās pretty darn high praise.
Bonne Maman then asked me to create a savory recipe for Motherās Day with their preserves and it hit me. Blueberry jalapeƱo 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 jalapeƱo.
I mean, just look at that swirl of blueberry goodnessā¦
The muffins are soft and moist (*cringes* I still hate that wordā¦.), giving you little bits of all the flavors in every single bite you take.
Everyone will be clambering to devour these bad boys ā just make sure you donāt let them before you bring one to your mama in bed!
