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!

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.
