Kicked-Up Cornbread Mini-Muffins

No plain ol' cornbread for me anymore. Whip up a batch of your favorite recipe. (I'm partial to Jiffy myself.) And then add these things in before you pour into mini-muffin pans. Each variation lists ingredient amounts for a full 12 muffins; split in half or thirds if you'd like a taste of each in one sitting.

Orange-Rosemary Cornbread Mini-Muffins
Into one batch of cornbread batter, stir in:
3/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Bake as directed.

Jalapeño-Cheddar Cornbread Mini-Muffins
Into one batch of cornbread batter, stir in:
1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño chile
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Bake as directed.

Caramelized Onion-Bacon Cornbread Mini-Muffins
Into one batch of cornbread batter, stir in:
1/2 cup caramelized onions
4 strips cooked bacon, broken into small pieces

Bake as directed.
