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.
Ingredients At A Glance
(Full printable recipe below)
- Two boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- Milk or Half and Half
- Eggs
- Sour Cream
- Vegetable Oil
- Sugar (Optional)
Those ingredients will simply be mixed together by hand, then the batter gets poured into a 9×13 baking pan and popped in the oven. Super simple here, perfect for when you need to be more hands on with other dishes for a meal.
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?

Meet Christi, Love From The Oven
I’m Christi I love sharing easy & delicious recipes that your family & friends will love. I’m a mom, baker, cookbook author and lover of sprinkles.
You are amazing. Ignore the haters! BTW his complaint is almost as long as your intro…lol
Can I use honey instead of sugar in the jiffy cornbread recipe? How much?
I haven’t tried. Let us know how it turns out if you do!
I’ve never thought to complain about it, but thanks for the tip about jumping to the recipe! I never noticed that before. I’ve gotten used to scrolling to the recipe, or even reading the article, because hey, who doesn’t love to read about food? Thanks so much, I’m going to try this out tonight.
For starters, everything on the internet is a lie. And fake recipe sites like this one are the OG of liars. If a person has to spend 90 percent of your time before they actually give you the recipe, or the price, you know they were not raised right. A lot of us had bad parents, but we don’t all feel forced to take it out on others.
Michael it sounds like you could use a cookie, or some carbs, or something to cheer you up. So grumpy on a food blog! I mean I may or may not be real here on my website I’ve run for 15 years, I guess we’ll never know! Though if I’m just a figment of my own imagination then I did a pretty awesome job getting author credit on multiple books. Hey, when you’re good, you’re good, right?
Also, you might want to try out the “jump to recipe” button at the top of this food blog, like most food blogs. It pretty much solves what you are complaining about. I’ve also found therapy a more effective place to work through complaints and issues than comment sections of food blogs, but that’s just my personal experience. Good luck!
Always get compliments!
Delicious cornbread! Great recipe!
Made half the recipe so it would fit in my round cast iron skillet. It came out perfect and is really a great cornbread. Will be making again.
If this is in a 9×13 pan, why is the cornbread square in your picture?
Excellent! I added sugar, cinnamon, corn kernels, and diced yellow pepper to jazz it up a bit.
I made this for my friends and they loved it! It’s very moist and went great with my cabbage and ham hocks.
