Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1 box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 4 Large Eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/3 cup Milk
  • 5 tbsp Butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine the cake mix and the corn bread mix together in a large bowl.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients and stir just until combined (batter will be thick). 
  • Pour the batter into a lined muffin tin or a greased 9x13 baking dish.
  • Bake cornbread muffins for 10-15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and baked through. If baking in a 9x13 pan, bake the cornbread for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't Overmix: Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough texture in the finished cornbread.
  • Chill the Batter: As I mentioned earlier, refrigerating the batter for a short time before baking can result in a moister and more tender cornbread.
  • Line or Grease: Line your muffin tin with muffin cups or spray with cooking spray for easy removal.
  • Preheat Your Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the batter inside. This helps achieve the proper rise and texture.
  • Adjust Baking Time: Baking times can vary based on the size of your baking pan, your oven's accuracy, and even the addition of mix-ins. Keep an eye on the oven as the cornbread bakes and perform the toothpick test to determine doneness.
  • Store Properly: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
