Classic Corn Bread

A Dressed Up Version Of The Classic Jiffy Mix

Classic Corn Bread made with the beloved Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. A simple and easy way to make delicious corn bread. This is mixed up with vanilla Greek yogurt which adds moisture as well as some honey for sweetness. A few other ingredients created a corn bread that will not disappoint.

My friend who blogs over at The Kitchen Wife often makes a dinner that is beans and corn bread. I was always jealous of this meal so I attempted to perfect my own corn bread recipe. I am not a baker by any means, so this took me some time. This hybrid version of “baking” makes the best cornbread. This is perfect to serve with my Mom’s Chili Recipe or Just as a side to anything Barbecue. You will love it.

There is a recipe card at the end of this post with the recipe card available to print, save or pin. There is also a hands free mode that you can toggle on to keep the screen from going dark if you are cooking while using your device. I have a few pictures and paragraphs before the recipe card for any one who may need a little clarification on any ingredients before you make this recipe.

In A Jiffy

I am sure everyone is familiar with Jiffy mixes. I feel like this brand has been around for over a century. If you are not familiar, pictured above is the product the recipe calls for. You can find this in mostly any baking aisle. They are usually about $.50 a box. I believe the brand is called Jiffy because the creator had a childhood memory of someone telling her that the biscuits she was making would be ready in a jiffy. But I could be wrong. Either way, this mix is a great base for the Classic Corn Bread.

It’s All Greek To Me

I decided to try to make this once with vanilla Greek yogurt to add some moisture and tanginess to the cornbread. The vanilla added a sweetness to it that I enjoyed. This worked beautifully. I know some people add buttermilk to their corn bread or sour cream, this was my replacement for those ingredients.

Don’t Forget The Butter Rub Down

You can rub the whole thing down with a pat of butter before serving. This adds a nice touch. The recipe on the recipe card has you doing this with a honey butter which takes this to the next level. One of my favorite things about corn bread is the caramelized edges and then eating the whole thing slathered in butter.

The Perfect Pair

One of my favorite things to serve with corn bread are these Oven Baked BBQ Ribs. I love the combination of the two. If I was making a complete meal, I would also make my Cucumber Salad with this recipe. To me, this is the perfect Summer meal. It is worth heating up the house to make this!
