This cornbread recipe is a Boston Market copycat. It tastes more like cake than cornbread, but because it’s called cornbread you can get away with eating cake with dinner!
This Boston Market Cornbread copycat is a recipe I printed off the internet many years ago. Probably around the time I discovered you could print recipes off the internet. Boy was that a great discovery! I must have printed a gazillion of them. I continuously weed out my recipe collection (or I would drown in them) and this is one of the few surviving recipes from that time period (must have been the mid 90s).
MY LATEST VIDEOSI absolutely love Boston Market’s cornbread.
And why do I love it so much? Because it’s not really cornbread. It’s cake passed off as cornbread.
Who doesn’t like cake that can be eaten with a meal instead of after?
These corn muffins are super sweet, buttery, and oh so delicious! They have more similar in consistency to cake than cornbread. I love them with some super spicy Five Alarm Chili.
This recipe only has 5 ingredients (plus water) so it is super easy and quick to make. It makes a huge batch, but you can freeze half of them or cut the recipe in half.
If you like really sweet cornbread, you will love this recipe 🙂

Oops , and I used 2 cups of half n half, no water!
I make this cornbread almost every year for Thanksgiving and it’s a family favorite. I’ve tried making other cornbread recipes but I always end up coming back to this one. I try to avoid using box mix when I can, but you can’t beat the simplicity and sweetness of this cornbread. It’s like eating cake for breakfast/lunch/dinner 🙂 also it tastes very similar to BM! Thanks for sharing!
Tastes nothing like Boston Market corn bread. But it is still good! I saw on another site, their recipe for BM corn bread used butter yellow cake. Worth a try next time.
Glad you liked it. I will have to look for that recipe and try it. 🙂
My husband would love these cornbread muffins because he likes sweet cornbread. I can make them and keep them in the freezer for him. 🙂
Cake in form of cornbread??? How awesome does it sound?? THese muffins look terrific, and the texture seems beautiful. I need them!
I love Boston Market! I haven’t been there is so long there…that needs to change. Their cornbread is super delicious so I’ll totally be trying this :)…if for no other reason than the fact that it’s made with cake mix!
I live for some sweet cornbread!!!! You are 100% right about Boston Market’s cornbread being little cakes passed off as a side dish! And I love them! I can’t wait to try these. Pinned. (Well truthfully they were pinned several minutes ago as soon as I read “Boston Market cornbread”.)
Thanks Lindsey! I hope you enjoy! 🙂
Isn’t corn bread just the best thing ever?! I love how it’s a little bit sweet, but not too sweet! Perfect side to chilly or a hearty soup and salad! YUM! Your recipe looks so tasty! Hope that you have a great weekend!
Yes, corn bread is the best thing ever! Hope you have a great weekend too! I can’t believe it is here already.
I only go to Boston Market for the cornbread, plus I just love cornbread! Wish I had some now, with a big smear of softened butter.
Me too! I always have to talk myself into buying chicken because I really just want corn bread 🙂
