Expert Tips

  • Let it cool! I know you’ll be anticipating that first bite but let the cornbread cool a bit before cutting into it. This keeps it from crumbling too much.
  • Use an electric mixer to quickly and easily mix everything together.
  • Preheat the oven. This step gets skipped but your baked goods will come out much better when the oven is preheated.
  • Serve it up while warm with butter and more honey to drizzle on top.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make muffins instead?

Sure thing! If you would rather enjoy this Jiffy cornbread recipe in muffin form simply swap the baking dish for a muffin pan. Make sure to spray it well or use liners. Split up the mix between the openings in a regular-sized muffin pan. It will make 12 muffins. Bake in the oven until a toothpick comes out clean. They will cook in less time than the cornbread.

Can I swap the Jiffy mix for corn meal?

No, this recipe will not work using corn meal. The Jiffy mix actually contains other ingredients such as a leavener, seasoning, and others so that it cooks up with an ideal cornbread texture.
