Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.
Fold in the diced jalapeno peppers and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly incorporated throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, if desired. Enjoy!
