“This is a favorite “go to” recipe. The creamed corm makes all the difference other cornbread can be crumbly. But this great. I make it all the time.”
Carol Lynn

This recipe is simple, and while the ingredient list seems unimpressive, once everything is stirred together and baked, you will be blown away by these savory, sweet muffins’ incredible taste and soft texture.

Creamed Cornbread Muffins start with “America’s Favorite” Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. That store-bought shortcut is pretty good on its own, but I decided to add more flavor and texture from creamed corn and moisture from sour cream. I mixed in the eggs to bind everything together, and then I had something irresistible!

Jiffy Cornbread Mix: This mix contains all the dry ingredients needed to make cornbread muffins, such as cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Canned Cream Style Corn: for added moisture and extra buttery corn flavor.
Baking Basics: A few additions take these muffins to the next level. Milk, eggs, and sour cream are the “secret” ingredients. They add moisture and a tang to complement the sweet creamed corn.

Variations And Additions

Add de-seeded and diced jalapenos for some heat.
One of my favorites is to add honey for extra sweetness.
For a cheesy twist, stir in a handful of shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese.
Add some sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned) for added texture and sweetness.
Fresh or dried herbs like chives, rosemary, or thyme can give a unique flavor.

How To Make Cornbread Muffins

Baked corn muffins made with creamed corn and Jiffy mix baked in a muffin tin.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Whisk all ingredients until blended in a large bowl, 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.

Donya’s Tips For The Best Muffins

To ensure they’re perfectly baked, insert a toothpick into the center of each muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done. Cool the muffins on a wire rack, then serve.
Spray the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray before adding the batter to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan. You can also line the pan with paper liners.
Customize the size, depending on your preference or occasion, you can make mini muffins, standard-sized muffins, or even jumbo muffins. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Commonly Asked Questions

Corn Muffins served with butter, warm in a blue bowl for lunch or dinner.

Is Jiffy mix the same as cornmeal?

No, Jiffy Cornbread mix has all the dry ingredients in one convenient mix. Cornmeal is made from ground-dried corn.

Do I have to use a muffin pan?

I prefer to use a muffin pan for this recipe. I’ve never used a baking dish or a cast iron skillet, but I’m sure it would work great, although you might have to adjust the baking time.

How do I store leftovers?

These yummy muffins store beautifully in the fridge for up to 4 days if you have any leftovers. They also freeze well, stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
