Jalapeno Zucchini Cornbread

"This is a versatile recipe. With its totally green color (from the zucchini), you'll want to remember it on St. Patrick's Day. With its hint of sweetness, (from the honey), you'll want to serve it at breakfast. With its moistness (from the buttermilk and of course the zucchini) you'll enjoy slice after slice. And with its nip of heat (from the jalapenos) you'll want to make this over and over. The recipe comes from our local foodie, Jan D'Atri, who says the 2 jalapenos in the recipe are exactly the right amount. Nevertheless, you'll want to use your judgment!"

Reviews

  1. I shared this with co-workers who gave it mixed reviews. We all liked the zucchini, fresh jalapenos and onion, but most of us thought it needed something more. Some thought it need cheese and one thought it would be better as regular bread instead of a cornbread. I made as written using the loaf pan option. I might try playing around with it a bit, thanks for the post.
