Jiffy Corn Muffins Mix Clone

I made this tonight using a self-rising cornmeal mix that contained flour but no sugar (because I did not have straight yellow cornmeal on hand). I added the amount of sugar called for in the recipe. I also had to add a little extra milk to make the batter suitable for plain cornbread. Other than these changes, I made the batter as directed and baked it at 400 degrees for a little less than 20 minutes. As others have said, it had a really nice texture. It was softer, moister, and less crumbly than Jiffy cornbread. The only thing I might change next time other than making it completely from scratch is to add just a little bit more sugar. After making this tonight, I see absolutely no reason (besides laziness) to ever buy Jiffy mix again. Thank you!

Great recipe, I found the batter quite thick which made it hard to separate, but they look and taste wonderful. I ate Jiffy Mix a lot growing up, but of course you can't find it here in Germany. I made it to go along with chili but I think I would make it in future as well for breakfast and snacks.

Made this up as mixes to use later and stored in plastic containers. All I needed was to add the egg, milk & oil. First time I used the pre-measured mix I made pancakes. I used the recipe off the side of the Jiffy box for pancakes- added 1 egg, 2 T Canola oil and 3/4 c milk. The best pancakes ever, very light with a lot of flavor. This mix replaces the Jiffy boxes in my pantry. Thanks Antilope for sharing.

Vegan version: used whole white wheat flour, just 2 T sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, egg replacement made with 1T ground flax seed 3 T water allowed to sit for 10 or 15 minutes, and 1/2 c vanilla soy milk up to 1/4 c water. Splendid! I am a long time user of jiffy mix and this makes a tasty replacement in our new vegan lifestyle.

This is a great little recipe. I use it whenever Jiffy mix is called for in a recipe, and it never disappoints! BTW, "Jiffy Mix" is not all that great for you, health wise. Thank you for posting this nifty little recipe~

I was looking for a Jiffy mix substitute to use in Super Corn and was very happy to find this one...it worked perfectly. I just made the dry mix and reduced the sugar to 2 tablespoons. Thanks so much for posting.

We really enjoyed this, very close to Jiffy Mix. I added a bit of additional liquid to make it thinner and pourable, as it was a very thick mixture, but it came out just fine. Thanks for submitting it, Antilope.

since i did not actually make the cornbread muffins - but instead used it in a recipe that called for it (Stove Top Tamale Pie) - AND i have never had jiffy corn muffins so i wouldn't be able to compare as a clone - i decided to not "rate" it with stars but just leave a comment to thank you very much for sharing this recipe - it worked like a charm. i almost cut back on the sugar but decided to go with the recipe exactly as written and am glad i made that decision... the sweetness of the cornbread perfectly balanced the spicey of the dish. thanks!

I made a double batch and made cornbread to go with soup. We are huge Jiffy muffin mix fans. It's great and for the price, you can't beat it! This is a great clone to use when your out, or to make in bulk and use as needed. The cornbread came out moister and less sweet than Jiffy brand, so we gave it 4 stars for duplication but 5 stars for flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :)

I needed this for Chicken Tamale Casserole (Cooking Light) and didn't want to buy the mix. It worked great, except that it was very sweet for that recipe. So I would reduce the sugar next time if it's going in a savory recipe. Thanks for sharing this easy substitute!

These are better than Jiffy! The flavor is the same, but the texture is better. They do not fall apart and crumble like Jiffy muffins do. I love them, and will never buy another mix since these are just as easy and I like them better.

The flavor for this was definitely a match for the Jiffy mix, but the texture was a bit drier than the original. I may try adding an additional tablespoon of oil next time. They were easy to prepare, and probably cheaper than the box. Thanks for posting!

Thank you thankyou! I loved Jiffy corn bread mix but had to give it up because it has lard in it (became a vegetarian). This receipe is very similar in taste and so easy! Thanks!

Very Good! I used this mix in a cornbread recipe that called for a box of jiffy mix (65922) as well as I used it on the Stove top tamale pie (78897) came out awesome both times! Thanks so much for posting!

I used this in a Stove Top Tamale Pie Stove Top Tamale Pie and it came out FABULOUS! It was wonderfully moist and the perfect texture for the topping of the casserole. I do believe this is an improvement on the classic Jiffy Mix. Congratulations!

Good muffins, although not exactly like the box mix. They aren't quite as sweet as the original, which disappointed my husband, but I preferred. :) The ingredients are things I keep on hand, so I don't have to remember to buy anything at the grocery store, and it takes a couple minutes, tops, to measure the ingredients out, so IMHO it is no less convenient than the box. Plus it has half the saturated fat and none of the preservatives!
