🌽 Basic Jiffy Corn Muffin Recipe
Ingredients (1 box)
- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (8.5 oz)
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk (or water, if preferred)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- 400°F (200°C) for muffins or 425°F (220°C) for a cornbread pan.
- Grease muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. Mix batter
- In a bowl, combine Jiffy mix, egg, and milk.

3. Bake
- Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.

- Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.

- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
- 2–3 tbsp sugar or honey for sweeter muffins
- 1–2 tbsp jalapeños or corn kernels for spicy or sweet flavor

Moist Muffins
