Have you ever made cornbread from a Jiffy box? I remember my mom making it all the time when I was little. She also made the Jiffy blueberry muffins a lot too. Waking up on weekend mornings to that smell is something you don’t forget!

To add a cake-like flare to cornbread, you simply need to add cake batter! I’m not even joking… it’s really that simple!

Any box or brand of yellow cake mix will work. You will also need 2 boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix.

But don’t be fooled, these are not muffins at all! They are sweet and fluffy-like cupcakes.

I have made these as a dessert-type treat, but I certainly wouldn’t judge if you happen to serve them as a side to your favorite crockpot chili recipe! I think that’s fantastic too. If you like cornbread, then enjoy these cornbread cupcakes whenever you want!
