Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat two mini muffin pans (12 muffins each) with cooking spray. In medium bowl, combine egg, milk, oil, garlic powder and hot pepper sauce. Add corn muffin mix; blend ingredients together to form lumpy batter. Let rest 5 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, seed and mince Jalapeno pepper. Finely chop bell pepper. Fold peppers and shredded cheese into muffin batter.

3. Spoon batter into prepared pans, about 1 tbsp in each. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 10-12 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Remove muffins from pan, using tip of paring knife, if needed, to loosen sides. Serve warm or cool completely before storing in airtight container.
