In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in corn kernels, jalapeños, cheddar cheese, and green onions gently.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top.
