#JIFFY MUFFIN MIX FREE#

Example: if you’re using this cornbread mix to replace the Jiffy in my corn casserole, an additional 1/2 teaspoon+ of salt is being added.

Only a little is called for, because additional salt is likely going to be added when using the mix in a recipe. Whether a sweet or salty recipe is being made, salt is a key ingredient to create a flavorful final dish. Baking powder helps our recipes rise and maintain a light, fluffy texture. Baking Powder – our leavening agent which contains baking soda, cream of tartar, and sometimes cornstarch.Granulated Sugar – there is a great divide over whether sugar should be added to cornbread or not, but it’s listed on the back of the Jiffy box and we’re looking to make an exact copy of it! Granulated sugar provides sweetness, enhances the flavor of the corn, and helps keeps baked goods moist and tender.

If you’d like to make this gluten free, try an all-purpose cup-for-cup gluten free flour blend.

All-Purpose Flour – a good base for all different kinds of baked goods, especially quick breads, that will produce a light, yet moist and tender cornbread, corn muffin, etc.

Do not use self-rising cornmeal, because it contains additional leavening agents such as baking soda. It’s likely the cornmeal package won’t be labeled with anything, but it’s probably fine or medium. Cornmeal is found in fine, medium, and coarse, but most baking recipes will use fine or medium. The only difference will really be in color. White cornmeal may be used if necessary, because there are only slight differences in flavor.

Yellow Cornmeal – dried yellow corn that has been ground and is used to add flavor and texture to recipes.

With only 6 ingredients, we’re able to make an exact copy of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix! Nobody will ever know the difference! Ingredients 😉 This copcat jiffy cornbread mix recipe is PERFECT for those times when you’ve run out of boxes and don’t have time to go to the store. Because I bake with it so much, I always assume I have some on hand…but you know what they say when you assume. I don’t know about you, but during the holidays I go through a LOT of corn muffin mix (hello corn casserole).
