neat Chili Cornbread Muffins

Combine the warm and comforting flavor of chili in a traditional cornbread muffin to create a stunning side to a cookout, or serve as an appetizer at a gathering. Chili is created with neat Mexican Mix and chili powder to give a zesty, all-vegan and gluten-free flavor, mixed alongside black beans and tomatoes. Sprinkle with vegan cheese to complete this delicious upgrade to regular cornbread and chili.
