  • 1 7 oz box Martha White Sweet Yellow Cornbread and Muffin Mix OR similar
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 2 tsp seafood seasoning [i.e. Seafood Magic or Old Bay]
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 1 8 oz can cream style corn
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 8 oz jumbo lump crab meat
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spritz 16 muffin cups with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium-size mixing bowl use a whisk to sift together the corn muffin mix, self rising flour, seafood seasoning and garlic powder.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, cream style corn, vegetable oil and eggs. Whisk into the dry ingredients until fully moistened.
