📝 Ingredients
1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for extra flavor)

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup canned corn (drained) or frozen corn (thawed)

1–2 jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for less heat)

1 small can (4 oz) diced green chilies (optional)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions or crumbled cooked bacon

👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish, cast iron skillet, or muffin tin for cornbread muffins.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and chili powder.

3. Add Wet Ingredients
In the same bowl, add milk, eggs, and oil. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.

4. Fold in the Good Stuff
Gently stir in cheddar cheese, corn, jalapeños, and green chilies (if using). Fold in green onions or bacon here if you’re using them.

5. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve
Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter, honey, or sour cream.
