Buttery Roasted Pepper Corn Muffins

SO, I love butter and I love corn bread but I wanted to add even more flavor!!  I saw in this magazine where someone added zucchini to their muffin, then it hit me BAM KABOOM CHAZAM!!  Why not add some roasted bell peppers and season them with like some of my favorite seasonings, sea salt, pepper and thyme!!  I mean I already add corn to my muffin mixes.  OH and YES people I did not make this muffin from scratch, I used Jiffy corn muffin mix but that’s what I do sometimes.  I was looking for top notch flavor and well if the Jiffy shoe fits, then I’m am going to wear it!!!  Boy was I happy I did, these muffins came out so scrumptious and buttery!!  These muffins are a compliment to any meal and can even satisfy as a savory/sweet snack!!

If only it was possible to taste with your eyes!!! OH MY SOO darn good! YUM YUM!!

Hello we are the peppers in this DELICIOUS corn muffin and are seasoned with LOVE!!

I am just so full of goodness!!
