  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (8.5 oz)
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup milk (whole milk for richness)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for extra moisture)

Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:

  • ¼ cup sour cream (makes it extra moist)
  • ¼ cup honey (for sweet cornbread)
  • ½ cup corn kernels (for texture)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (for cheesy cornbread)
  • 1 teaspoon diced jalapeño (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish or muffin tin.

2. Mix the Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, egg, milk, and melted butter until just combined (do not overmix).

3. Add Moisture & Flavor (Optional)

  • Stir in sour cream, honey, corn kernels, or shredded cheese for added texture and taste.

4. Bake the Cornbread

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Cool & Serve

  • Let the cornbread cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!

Notes

✅ Use Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt – This makes the cornbread extra moist and rich.
✅ Don’t Overmix the Batter – Stir just until combined to keep it light and fluffy.
✅ Bake in a Cast-Iron Skillet – For a crispy, golden crust, bake in a preheated skillet.
✅ Adjust the Sweetness – Add honey or sugar for a sweeter cornbread, or reduce sugar for a savory version.
✅ Let It Rest – Cooling for a few minutes prevents crumbling when slicing.
