Jalapeño Cornbread Bagels - A Spicy Twist on a Classic Breakfast Favorite
Looking for a unique and flavorful breakfast option? Look no further than these Jalapeño Cornbread Bagels! These bagels are the perfect combination of spicy and savory, with a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.

To make these delicious bagels, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup canned corn kernels, drained
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

This recipe makes 6-8 bagels, depending on the size you prefer.
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the corn kernels, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Use your thumb to make a hole in the center of each ball, then stretch the dough to form a bagel shape. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
These Jalapeño Cornbread Bagels are perfect for breakfast or brunch, and can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite toppings. They have a slightly spicy kick from the jalapeños, which is balanced out by the sweetness of the corn and the richness of the cheddar cheese. The texture is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making for a satisfying and delicious breakfast treat.
