Why You’ll Love This Easy Cornbread Muffin Recipe
This recipe is so simple… a couple of boxes of jiffy corn muffin mix, creamed corn, eggs, milk, and sour cream. The ingredient list seems a bit unimpressive, but once everything is stirred together and baked, you will be blown away by the incredible taste and soft texture of these savory, sweet muffins.
Creamed Cornbread Muffins start with “America’s Favorite” Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. That store-bought shortcut is pretty good on its own, but by adding more flavor and texture from creamed corn, moisture from sour cream, and eggs to bind everything together, you’ve got something irresistible.
Five Ingredients You Need For This Recipe
- Jiffy Cornbread Mix – this mix contains all the dry ingredients, like cornmeal, flour baking powder, and baking soda needed to make the cornbread muffins.
- Canned Cream Style Corn – for added moisture and extra buttery corn flavor.
- Milk
- Sour Cream – this is the “secret” ingredient that adds moisture and a bit of tang that goes so well with the sweetness of the creamed corn.
- Eggs – to bind everything together, giving the muffins a cakelike texture.
How To Make Cornbread Muffins
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients until blended, but do not over mix. Spoon into prepared muffin cups. Bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden around the edges and when a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Serve with butter.
