Jiffy Cornbread
With a little help from the classic Jiffy Cornbread Mix, this cornbread recipe produces the most flavorful and moist cornbread I’ve ever had. I would go as far as to stay that it puts my completely from scratch cornbread to shame! You read that right, this is better than any completely from scratch cornbread I’ve ever made. And just to add a disclaimer, this post is in no way sponsored by Jiffy, I’m just super in love with this recipe!
So often, cornbread is a bit on the dry side. It’s a very common problem. Not this cornbread. Two days after I first made this cornbread, it was still moist. If there is such a thing as magical cornbread, this just might be it.
While I like cornbread, I’ve never felt like I LOVE cornbread. Well that has changed. I’m not exaggerating when I say I ate the leftovers of this Jiffy Cornbread for breakfast the day after I made it. And I’m not lying when I say I was pretty darn sad when it was gone.
This Jiffy Cornbread Recipe will be whipped up often in my kitchen from here on out. Who would have thought that those iconic little boxes of Jiffy Cornbread Mix would, with some doctoring, produce such a spectacular result. Truth be told I didn’t exactly expect to be wowed by this, or any, cornbread recipe. So the fact I’m practically singing it’s praises, that says something!
Jiffy Cornbread Recipe
To make this recipe, you are going to set the Jiffy cornbread directions on the box aside. We’re taking this cornbread to a whole other level. I cannot wait for you to try this recipe, it’s THAT good.
Sweet Cornbread Or Savory Cornbread
I prefer my cornbread on the sweet side. Not overly sweet, but with a hint of sweetness. If you prefer, you can leave out the sugar in this recipe. You’ll still have a great result, just slightly less sweet.

What To Eat Cornbread With
Look, eating this cornbread all on it’s own is one heck of a delicious thing to do. Or better yet, top it with honey butter! However I do understand you might want to pair it with some other food items.
This would pair wonderfully with Maple Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin. It would make a great Sunday dinner, especially when you include some Easy Glazed Carrots.
For the ultimate in comfort food, pair this Jiffy Cornbread with Crockpot Beef Stew or Chicken Pot Pie Soup. For a classic combo, pair it with Crockpot Baked Beans. It’s hard to go wrong with a great cornbread recipe, isn’t it?

You can also substitute an 8oz can of cream style corn for the oil & use a little less milk (1/2 cup or so).

I added two cans of whole kernel corn, drained. Some chopped jalapeno peppers and a combo of dried chives, parsley and cilantro. And it was AWESOME. By far the BEST cornbread I’ve ever had.

You can also eat it sliced in half with butter and Mrs Butterworth maple syrup. This is to die for good
