ingredients
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow corn meal
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
directions
Combine the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix well. Stir in the vegetable oil and mix until there are no lumps.
Use the Jiffy corn muffin mix clone immediately in any recipe calling for a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix, or store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
To make corn muffins like Jiffy: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the muffin mix with 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk. Mix just to combine, do not over mix the corn muffin batter. Fill muffin tins 1/2 full with the batter. Place the muffin tins in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until done. Makes 6 corn muffins.
1 1/2 cups of the corn muffin mix clone equals one 8.5 ounce box of Jiffy corn muffin mix.
recipe tips
Try adding herbs or spices like smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a savory twist.
To make the corn muffins more moist, try adding a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter.
Make mini corn muffins by using a mini muffin tin and adjusting the baking time accordingly.
Try adding corn kernels or diced bell peppers for extra texture and flavor.
Brush the warm corn muffins with melted butter and honey for a sweet and shiny glaze.
Serve the corn muffins with butter, honey, or even chili for a delicious meal accompaniment.
Take care in not over mixing the batter as it can lead to tough and dense muffins due to gluten development.

MBE REVIEW:
October 1, 2019Needed for a recipe for Tamale Pie Stuffed Peppers and it worked well. I'm not a sweet cornbread fan (the reason I don't use Jiffy) so cut the sugar by half. The recipe subbed butter for the oil and sour cream for the milk. I used part masa and part regular cornmeal and the result was fantastic!

January 10, 2019Tried recipe and liked it; I too was out of Jiffy mix and needed a substitute. Taste a little different and a little more crumbly. But, overall a good muffin, would make again in a pinch.

CookingMommy REVIEW:
May 22, 2012I use Jiffy Cornbread mix all the time, and I wanted to find something that didn't have any hydrogenized oils in it. I used canola instead of vegetable oil, and it turned out just like Jiffy. I was extremely pleased!

April 29, 2009I use Jiffy corn bread mix weekly, ran out and didn't want to go to the store. I made it to go with some cabbage and it tasted great! I cannot tell the difference. I may stop buying Jiffy and just make it myself. Thanks so much!

Carrie REVIEW:
April 21, 2008Wonderful Recipe! I would almost not know the difference if I ate Jiffy corn bread side-by-side with this recipe. I live in the UK now, and my local grocery didn't have corn meal, so I had to use ground maize. The texture was a little off, but the flavor was perfect! I have missed Jiffy Corn Bread since I left the states, but now I suffer no longer!

Haven't tried it yet, but I'm on my way out to the kitchen now.Needed JiffyMix for my corn casserole, and found that I had already used my 2 boxes that were in the cupboard. So glad I found a way to make my own, as I DO have cornmeal in the cupboard yet. Thanks so much for this lifesaver.z.
