Hatch Green Chile Corn Muffins are my recipe of the day with the blogging group Muffin Monday. We get together monthly on the last Monday to post the muffins we have been baking up.
It’s the end of the month again! Where does all the time go?
I am sharing my Hatch corn muffins, since it is Hatch season again. If you love these New Mexico peppers, keep your eyes peeled as they will make their appearance in some markets that set up roasters. If you miss out, some places will have extra in their freezer sections.
However, you can still use other types of green chiles in this. Especially the canned. Those are common in all markets.
If you do manage to snag some Hatch peppers at the market, they do freeze well and keep for months. I tend to divvy those up into smaller usable portions and pack them that way. Rather than having a huge frozen rock of them.
They are perfect in all sorts of recipes as you can see below. I shared some of my other Hatch recipes for reference.

My local supermarket doesn’t roast the hatch chili peppers but know some do. I like to roast my own in the oven then freeze them to use all year round. They go perfectly in cornbread muffins!
These muffins sound and look wonderful! As soon as the weather cools down enough, I’ll making them. Thank you for this recipe.
