recipe tips


For a moister muffin, add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.

Fill the muffin cups equally and don't overfill.

If you prefer a sweeter muffin, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons.

For a cheesier muffin, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with grated cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Serve these muffins warm with butter or as a side to a hearty soup or chili.

Try different flavors of Spam such as hot & spicy, bacon, maple, teriyaki, or turkey Spam.

If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave.

common recipe questions


Can I use a different type of meat instead of Spam?

Yes, you can use diced ham, cooked bacon, or even cooked sausage as alternatives to Spam.

Is there a substitute for jalapeno cheese?

If you can't find jalapeno cheese, you can use Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese and add some diced jalapenos or just use regular Monterey Jack or Cheddar.

Can I add other vegetables to these muffins?

Yes, you can add corn kernels, diced onion, or chopped green onions.
