Not So Basic Cornbread Recipe Most of us love the taste of the original Jiffy Cornbread! The Jiffy Cornbread box recipe is simple and delicious, but doesn’t it drive you crazy when it starts to crumble?
Well, we know a way to avoid crumbling. Want to know the secret? The original Jiffy box recipe calls for eggs and milk along with the box mixture.
In this recipe, our secret to up-leveling your Cornbread game is simply by adding a couple more ingredients. This Jiffy hack includes adding sour cream and vegetable oil.
We promise this will create an amazing cornbread texture and make your taste buds explode! Now,
let’s get started on how to make your Jiffy Cornbread better!
Ingredients list:
- 2 boxes 8.5 oz Jiffy Cornbread Mix 2 Eggs
- 2/3 Cup Milk
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1⁄2 Cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
HOW TO MAKE Jiffy Cornbread
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, add 2 boxes Jiffy mixture and 2 eggs, and Milk. I used 2% milk but you can use any type of milk. The milk is what makes it yummy and creamy!
- Step 2: Mix in the vegetable oil and sour cream – hint: the 8 oz sour cream package is perfect! These 2 ingredients are what help bring moisture to the cornbread. Make sure to mix until the texture is smooth.
- Step 3: Lastly, mix in the sugar. This part is optional, as it will just add a bit of sweetness to your cornbread! Once you mix in the sugar, we want to transfer the batter into a 9×9 casserole dish.
- Step 4: Bake cornbread for about 25-30 minutes. The bread should start browning lightly on top.
It is not browning evenly at 15 minutes, make sure to adjust the dish in the oven. Make sure cornbread is thoroughly mixed by sticking a toothpick in the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done. If not make sure to keep in the oven for a few more minutes!
- Step 5: Pair with your favorite chili dish or almost any of your favorite dinner meals. Cornbread also tastes amazing with a little bit of melted butter and a drizzle of honey! Enjoy!

My family loved this! Jiffy is our favorite and this took it to another level! I did use buttermilk(1&2/3cup) instead of milk and sour cream. Will be making it like this from now on!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for the 5 stars! I’m so glad you all enjoy them. Andi
can you use this same recipe for muffins
Hi I’m making your recipe tonight with my first batch of homemade chili of the season and I came across your recipe but I don’t have milk I have heavy cream do you think that would work just as well?
Hi kelly, Of course, milk can be replaced with heavy cream. It will be a little fatter and more nutritious, but certainly tastier.
Make two boxes and follow the recipe except put in half the milk and replace with a 15 ounce can of creamed corn. You will have to cook longer.j
I’ve always struggled with the jiffy boxes. It always comes out dry and crumbly. I have an amazing from scratch cornbread recipe from a Michelin starred restaurant. But tonight I was just going for a quick cornbread to go with chili and I found this recipe to doctor up my Jiffy box. And it turned out AMAZING. My husband said it’s better than my scratch recipe. Thank you!!!
Hi Christine,
What a huge compliment! Thank you so much and I am so glad to hear how much you like it. Thank you for sharing!
This looks amazing! My grocery didn’t have Jiffy Cornbread Mix but Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Is it the same thing? Do you think using the muffin mix will work?
Hi Mandy,
I’ve never tasted it using Muffin Mix, That would work I think it’s the same., give it a try I’d love to know how it turns out.
Can you use buttermilk in place of the sour cream and milk? I love making my cornbread from scratch, and I use buttermilk in place of regular milk, and it really makes it moist. Jiffy mix is my “go to” if I want a sweeter cornbread though and it’s quick and easy! It’s all yummy to me!!!
Hi Amy,
That sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing! I only use jiffy because I just love it! Plus I like my cornbread like cake! So u can use buttermilk, they both come out more Moist 😋
I always add a stick of melted butter, about 1/4 cup of honey, little bit of creamed corn, real bacon bits and minced jalapeños. Always turns out perfectly moist n buttery sweet. But I’m gonna try ur way too
Hi Barb,
Thank you, please share the final result
I either use cream corn or cream cheese!
Hi Marica,
Yeah u can use cream cheese or plain yoghurt it’s will moist 😋😋
