Honey-Poblano Corn Muffins

This has become one of my new favorite cornbread recipes. Usually, people spice up corn muffins with jalapeno peppers. But I prefer poblano peppers. Why? Because poblanos are a rich and smoky flavored pepper that's not dependent on heat to give it flavor. The flavor of poblano pepper is distinct and (to me) delightful. You can make these with sugar, but the kiss of natural sweetness from honey, combined with the smoky flavor of the poblano just makes me all giddy inside! I hope you enjoy it. (BTW - this pairs wonderfully with the Triple "B" Baked Beans!)
