Green Chile Red Pepper Corn Muffins with Whole Wheat

Chopped green Chile, corn and red pepper comes in a little sweet honey Cornmeal muffin mix. Both whole wheat and unbleached flours used. 

Cornmeal-based muffins are good at almost every meal, and is also good for lunch. When vegetables are added, it can increase nutrition and can provide muffin little color and texture in the process. These muffins use Unbleached flour and whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour has been processed with the bran and germ still attached, and unbleached flour has been chemically treated to enhance the whitening. If only standard bleached all-purpose flour in the pantry, use that instead. 

Canned mild green Chile used in this recipe for taste, but warmer chopped Chile could be used instead to get warm. It also calls for thawed frozen corn, but canned corn can be used interchangeably. If the remainder is in the fridge, it is a great way to use up grilled corn on the flask from the night before. Chopped red pepper used to color himself green peppers from the garden are equally good, or canned diced peppers that have been drained. 

This recipe makes a half dozen large muffins or mini bread, using about a third cup-sized scoop or measure. If you use a smaller scoop will yield larger. Serve muffins warm or cooled.
