These muffins are gluten and dairy-free which make them a go-to for any vegan. Posted on the Tasty Yummies' food blog, this recipe uses cornmeal in place of the traditional flour. It works well as a portable breakfast snack or can be served as a delicious side to a full breakfast meal. These muffins provide a sweet and subtle spicy flavor which is due to the use of jalapenos. However, it is suggested to use more sugar for a sweeter taste or add chipotle and roasted poblanos for a batch of very savory muffins. Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins are a fairly easy recipe and though baking is required, the cook time is quite reasonable. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gluten-free Baking:** Creating gluten-free versions of traditional baked goods presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation. - **Vegan & Plant-based Cooking:** Developing plant-based and vegan-friendly recipes inspires innovation in the food industry. - **Gourmet Snacks:** Elevating everyday snacks to a gourmet level presents opportunities for innovation in the food industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers have an opportunity to create new gluten-free and plant-based products to meet the growing consumer demand. - **Restaurant & Catering:** Restaurants and catering services can develop unique gluten-free and plant-based recipes to expand their offerings and reach new customers. - **Healthy Snacks & Convenience Foods:** Healthy snack and convenience food companies can innovate and create new, gourmet snacks to meet the increasing demand for healthier on-the-go options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Free-From Cinnamon Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-cinnamon-chip-muffins.md) - [Rice Flour Blueberry Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-blueberry-muffins.md) - [Gluten-Free Fruit Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-strawberry-muffins.md) - [Veggie-Infused Cornbreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great-cornbread.md) - [Citrusy Free-From Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-streusel-muffin.md) - [Chocolaty Keto Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great.md) - [Gluten-Free Chocolate Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-double-chocolate-muffins.md) - [Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-pumpkin-streusel-muffins.md) - [Triple Ginger Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-triple-ginger-muffins.md)
