This is the BEST Jiffy Cornbread. So moist and delicious. Slather it with butter and you will think you are tasting a little bite of heaven.

Two pieces of Jiffy Cornbread on a plate.

This is THE cornbread for people who abhor dry, crumbly cornbread. This Jiffy Cornbread is moist even three days later.

It goes great with so many things.

Cornbread is great for turning a southern-side into a full meal. A great way to inexpensively feed the whole family!

Bake In A 9×13-inch Pan

This recipe makes a 9×13-inch pans worth of cornbread, enough for 12 people. If you still have some cornbread left after three days, cut it into cubes, drizzle it with butter, spread it out on a baking sheet, and bake at 350 degrees until crispy. Voila! Cornbread croutons! So delicious.

The Best Jiffy Cornbread

Quick and Easy Recipe

Jiffy Cornbread only takes about 5 minutes to measure and mix everything in one bowl and then 25 minutes to bake. It’s a mixture of 2 boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, milk, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and sugar. The sour cream helps make the cornbread moist and it cuts the sweetness some. You can leave the sugar out if you want the cornbread to be more savory.

This Cornbread Is Sweet!

If you like old-fashioned southern cornbread with no sugar, this is not the cornbread for you. I add one tablespoon of sugar which I think gives it just the right amount of sweetness. You can leave the sugar out if you want the cornbread to be more savory.

    This is The BEST cornbread I’ve ever tasted or made in my life. Period. Amazing!

  2. TS says:

    So moist and delicious! My family loves it!

    1. April Banavage says:

      Absolutely the best cornbread I have ever had. I made the recipe exactly as written except halved it since I only had one box of jiffy. Thank you for this recipe. Maybe I will try the recipe you have that includes jalapenos and cheese for a savory cornbread, however, will only use this recipe whenever making cornbread.

      1. April Banavage says:

        I am sorry I forgot to add that I used honey instead of the sugar.

  3. Betty Stockett says:

    Followed the recipe and the cornbread is way to crumbly to slice. What can be done to fix the problem.

    I could not ask earlier, just made it.

  4. Wayne says:

    I wonder how this would be if I used half butter and half bacon fat.

  5. monique says:

    i did this recipe and WOW my cornbread was AMAZING thank you so much!!

  6. Cathy says:

    Do you have to use sour cream?

  7. Lisa Carey says:

    We eat jiffy cornbread with an extra egg at every family gathering. Tonight, I used this recipe instead, substituting honey for the sugar. Total hit! My 96-year-old grandmother gave it her stamp of approval, as did my parents. Our 24-year-old son arrived late and immediately asked who made the heavenly cornbread.

  8. Theresa @ Two Much Fun says:

    Sooo much better than just making the recipe off of the box. We halved the recipe (only had one box) and made 8 muffins instead (baked for 16 minutes). Thank you so much for sharing.

  9. eeegee says:

    And, Oh, man! It goes good with a big glass of cold buttermilk.

  10. Maya says:

    I guess I did mine wrong. I followed the directions and put it in my cast iron skillet. I set the timer to 25mins. Once it beeped I checked it. The middle is wiggly and still wet but it’s golden brown on the outside.

    Let’s see why happens when I let it cook for another ten mins on 400ยฐ… ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜…

    1. Barbara Bibby says:

      Did you preheat your cast iron skillet? Melt the butter in the skillet over the stovetop, it warms the skillet faster then put it in the oven as it preheats while you are preparing your cornbread recipe. Pour your batter into the prepared skillet. Cast iron takes a long time to heat up.
