Best Cornbread Muffins
- These are so quick to make, and they bake up fluffy and soft in no time.
- Just 4 ingredients make these muffins taste so fresh and delicious!
- Cornbread muffins make the perfect breakfast with some creamy honey butter, or serve them as a tasty side with a steaming chili bowl or some Mexican lasagna.

4 Simple Ingredients!
Jiffy Muffin Mix – Any box of corn muffin mix will work, just be sure it’s 8.5 ounce box.
Dairy – Milk gives these muffins so much flavor. For a creamy and tangy twist, add a couple tablespoons of sour cream or Greek Yogurt to the milk, (making sure the liquid stays at ⅓ cup). Almond, soy, or oat milk will also work. An egg makes the muffins soft and moist, or try ¼ cup of applesauce instead.
Honey – The addition of honey lends a touch of sweetness and homemade flavor! Substitutions like maple syrup or agave can be used, too!
Variations – For a savory and spicy muffin that goes great with chili, try adding in some chopped jalapeno peppers like in these jalapeno cornbread muffins or toss in a teaspoon of crushed chili flakes. Or try making some pumpkin cornbread muffins too!


How to Make Cornbread Muffins
What could be easier than just a few ingredients and a quick bake?
- Add muffin mix to a bowl.
- Beat egg with honey and milk, add to the muffin mix.
- Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes, then fill prepared muffin tins.
- Bake (per recipe below) in a preheated oven until golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.

Tips & Tricks
- To make muffins into a cornbread loaf, simply follow the recipe as directed, but instead of adding the batter to muffin tins, pour it all into a greased 8-inch pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top.
- If leftover muffins become dry and crumbly, try spreading them with butter and microwaving them on a damp paper towel.
