💭 FAQs
If stored in an airtight container or well wrapped and at room temperature, this jalapeno popper cornbread can last about 3 days and still taste fresh and delicious. I like to warm it up in the microwave for about 30 seconds to recreate the warm from oven feeling.
Yes, this bread freezes great. I recommend either making it in a freezer friendly container like a disposable pan, then wrapping it well in plastic wrap before placing it in an airtight container. This will keep it safe for about 3-6 months. Just thaw when ready to eat.
Yes, you can make this recipe in muffin form but the cooking time will be about half. Set the timer for 15-20 minutes and check with a toothpick. Add additional time if necessary, in 5-minute intervals checking after each. You want the toothpick to come out clean or with just a few crumbs on it.
