Jazzed-Up Jiffy Cornbread Muffins

Stacey – January 9, 2020 – 106 Comments

Jazzed Up Jiffy Cornbread muffins with butter

Pin It!
The debate about sugar in cornbread is a fierce one.  I’ve had several comments like: “No true Southerner would ever put sugar in cornbread” and “Real cornbread only has cornmeal, buttermilk, and egg.”

And while I’ve got some strong opinions about it myself, I’ll share the short version with you… Cornbread and sweet cornbread are two different beasts.  

It really depends on what I’m serving it with that defines whether I want it sweet or not. For me they’re totally different and not interchangeable.

Jazzed Up Jiffy Cornbread Muffins with butter

 

A big pot of beans, peas, or greens requires the savory version with no sugar… at least at my house.  Cornbread dressing is the same way.  But sweet cornbread – most often in the form of muffins – is served with other meals where the bread is more of a complement rather than an integral part of any particular dish like it is with beans and greens.  

Now, I grew up with sweet cornbread and being that my family is nearly all in the South and has been for generations, I’m pretty sure that means we’re Southern. So stop with that nonsense.  

But here’s the thing.  You should make whichever you want.  The world is filled with much more important things than arguing about whether sugar makes something “Southern” or not.  If you like sugar in your cornbread, you make sweet cornbread.  If you think adding sugar is blasphemy, well you just keep on making it without.

See. Pretty simple, right?

For as long as I can remember, Mom has served Jiffy Corn Muffins with certain meals. And while I love the classic “back-of-the-box” recipe, I happen to think you can make them just a little better. 

My recipe calls for 2 eggs, some melted butter, and mayonnaise.  Yes, you read that right… mayo!  Since mayo is made with eggs and oil, it adds some great consistency and flavor – without tasting like mayo.  I just love the texture of these things.  And quite often not all 6 of these babies make it to the table  -I just love them piping hot right out of the oven.

If you’re totally opposed to mayo, you can swap it out for sour cream – like my buddy Mandy over at South Your Mouth.  But, I sure wish you’d try it with the mayo first. Trust me.  Just keep in mind we’re talking mayo – not Miracle Whip.  And I don’t recommend light or reduced fat mayo here. The results made with the lightened-up stuff just aren’t the same.

Y’all enjoy!

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly spray a 6 well muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

    Delicious! I’m not a huge cornbread fan, which is why I always default to cornbread casserole…. But I made a pot of split pea soup, and needed actual cornbread. This is perfect. Moist, but sturdy enough to stay a muffin. (And trust me… if I was successful, then it’s foolproof!)

    Hi! Just have to share. I made your recipie (Dukes mayo!) and added a 1/2 can of canned corn as well as a good inch of shredded cheddar cheese as a topping. Whoa! So good. It cooked longer and sat on warm in the oven until the soup was done, so timing is not acurate… moist, savory, it was a hit.

    So I used avocado Mayo (since that is what I have), eggs, and for gags and giggles, some shredded sharp cheddar and leftover corn (removed from cob) to the muffins. Since we are from NM I added hatch jar green chili to half the muffins and they are all awesome with slow cooker Elk & Bean chili.

    These were so good! The Mayo made them so moist I didn’t even need butter. They browned beautiful too. I drizzled some honey on them while eating.

    It’s obviously the muffin mix, but they’re a little bland. Would love to know how to bring out more corn flavor – maybe that means not using the box mix or adding some corn to the batter? Maybe just salt or I’m used to them being sweeter?

    Either way, this change up was great! So fluffy and moist.

    Stumbled across this recipe while looking for a way to make my Jiffy box mix a little tastier, and we were not disappointed!! Super moist, and didn’t need to be buttered while being eaten because they were perfect.

    I did use 1/2 sour cream (1/4c) and 1/2 Mayo (1/4c) because I had some sour cream I needed to use up. Instead of spraying my muffin cups, I added a little bit of vegetable oil and stuck the pan in the oven to get hot before adding my batter. My grandma used to do this so the bottoms get all crispy. I also brushed the tops w melted butter around 15 minutes, then put them back for 3 more min.

    The only change I might make is increasing to 7-8 muffins vs 6 bc mine slightly outgrew their cups (not a problem though!).

    Thanks for helping me jazz up my muffins, I’ll be doing it this way from now on!!

    To whom it may concern,

    This recipe was absolutely terrible. I made this in attempts to add value to my thanksgiving dinner. As my friend looked at me with great concern as I added the mayonnaise, he still gaveme the benefit of doubt. He insisted on being the first person to try this recipe as I cut him a slice of what seems to look like what it should. Well, I’m here to tell you, it’s not your average cornbread. I have no idea what it was. They won’t let me live this down till thanksgiving isn’t a thing anymore. Comments about mayonnaise occurred all night. One friend questioned if the recipe was a joke. Even I’m laughing at myself. What the heck was I thinking. What are you thinking! The entire batch went straight into the garbage. The look on their faces was priceless. It was like a practical joke, but wasn’t. Thank you for adding some excitement at the table but please stop sharing that this recipe is good. It’s not. I’m not trying to be mean, just trying to be as honest as 2020. For the love of humanity, mayonnaise does not belong in cornbread. Periodt…

      I reply to every single comment on this blog, but I’m not really sure what to say to this one. With a 4.4 out of 5, rating though, I’d say perhaps you’re in the minority. Sorry you didn’t like it. And for the record, I don’t ever suggest trying a new recipe out on a special occasion quite like Thanksgiving without testing it beforehand. You also mention cutting a slice, did you not make these as muffins?

        Thank you for your reply as my friends waited patiently to see if this recipe was actually a joke. I’m laughing cause now we all see it cleary is not. I cut a slice of the muffin cause he didn’t know what to expect. He didn’t even finish the slice ????Never, ever will I try a new recipe on any special occasion because of this epic fail. Lesson learned. This one was just too disgusting to not say anything. I’m still getting mayonnaise jokes. Man, just so gross.

    Just made this and it was great! I did add about a tablespoon of sugar just for a little sweetness and topped it off with honey fresh out of the oven. This is one of the few recipes that don’t call for sour cream which I love because I don’t buy that often. Definitely more moist than plain old jiffy.

    This has been my cornbread mix (yes I make a small round pan, not muffins with it) for 45 years!
    My mother-in-law is the one who got me going on it.
    I had to use buttermilk in the original recipe one time when I was out of milk, and found that I liked it best with the buttermilk.
    With all of this said, to me the key to making what we like … super crunchy almost fried type ‘crust’, is to use a good bit of oil in my cast iron pan, and then heavily sprinkle several tablespoons of the dry mix over the oil. Then make your recipe of choice, pour over the oil and meal, and bake according to directions until the bottom is VERY brown and crisp. When it’s done remove from oven and flip out onto a hot plate, serve immediately with all of the brown bottom facing up! I’m getting hungry 🙂
    Thanks Stacey for this post… I love ‘new’ options

    Stacey, I love the way your described the when and what of servings which kind of cornbread: “It really depends on what I’m serving it with that defines whether I want it sweet or not. For me they’re totally different and not interchangeable.” To my way of thinking, though I truly prefer a non-sweet cornbread most of the time, a somewhat sweet version is what is needed some of the time. And, by the way, I am totally Southern. I had one Southern grandma who made a sweet cornbread (and the Southerners went back generations in that family) and then the other Southern grandma who never made cornbread with sugar ( and that family of Southerners went back generations, too). So the age old debate about “true” Southern cornbread having no sugar is absolutely not true in my family.

      January 14, 2020 at 2:43 pm

      Exactly! We’re the same way. In my opinion, there’s nothing innately non-Southern about a little sugar in cornbread.

    We used to have a restaurant called Tippin’s in KC & their big squares of cornbread where fluffy & sweet. I was told that the recipe called for two boxes of Jiffy Cornbread Mix, one box Jiffy Yellow Cake Mix and the other ingredients called for on the box. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 min. It makes a nice 9×13″ pan of yummy sweet cornbread.

        Add the ingredients called for on all 3 boxes. It makes a cakey fluffy cornbread. Delicious!

    According to my Southern husband, cornbread has no sugar, but the sweet kind is called “Johhny Cake”, and is considered a Yankee thing.

    As a fan of ALL the carbs, I can say this looks so scrumptious! I can’t wait to try it!

    “so stop with that nonsense…” THIS 🙂
    Y’all, there ain’t no rules ‘cept fix it the way you like it.
    Jiffy does corn muffins/corn bread so well, I don’t feel the need to re-create the wheel.
    But I DO love to substitute real buttermilk instead of milk.
    It seems to give some dimension and richness to the flavor profile.
    And a little sugar, of course.

        Didn’t have any milk or sour cream so figured I would try this sub using mayo, was super skeptical but the mayo sub works great – doesn’t AT ALL taste mayonnaisey! Wish I had added a full tablespoon of sugar though, brushing the tops with honey was helpful to add sweetness after the fact. Thank you, definitely saved me a trip to the store in a storm.

    Thank you, the corn muffin was moist, so I told my sister, hopefully she’ll try it.

    Just as you said, it depends on what you are serving it with. I loved your recipe and hubby said it was the best he has had. He really loves sweet cornbread toasted in a pan with lots of butter and then served with grape jam. This was great.

      I like the connivence of Jiffy mixes, however, this past week, I made a large 9×13 pan of Jiffy Johnny Cake. I made 4 separate batches & put it all in the one pan. Baked it till golden on top. It was fully cook through, but it was very dry. So dry, that I had to follow it quickly with a liquid before choking. Was baking 4 boxes in one pan the cause of the extra dryness?

        The extended cooking time can cause the cornbread to dry out. Adding additional fat and moisture like in this recipe should help.

    Tried it your way, but didn’t like any better than Jiffy’s on the box recipe. Just don’t care for Jiffy period!

      I suppose that’s a good reason you didn’t like it! Ha! Thanks for trying it anyway, Joan! 🙂

    I prefer Jiffy just as it is. I can cut down on sugar in a lot of other ways. I hate mayo but decided to trust you and I am sorry to say I did not like it. I don’t use mayo but do use Miracle Whip always.

    I do love all Jiffy products though.

      Yeah, mayo and Miracle Whip aren’t the same. That’s why I specifically say in the post not to use Miracle Whip.

    Looks like a recipe I want to try! I’m with you on the cornbread debate – depends on what you are serving it with. Most of the time I like no sugar, but sometimes the sweetness is good too.
