A summer or fall BBQ isn’t complete without these delicious Cornbread Cupcakes. These sweet and fluffy cornbread cupcakes are made with both cake batter and cornbread mix and then topped with cinnamon butter. There’s a fun trick to making these cornbread cupcakes and I think your mind will be blown by how easy they are to bake.

Cornbread Cupcakes

Even on a cold winter evening, these are the coziest after-dinner treat. They go really well with any crockpot recipe your family loves.

If you eat them right out of the oven, the cinnamon butter turns into an irresistible cinnamon sugar glaze that is better than any kind of frosting.

What’s neat about cornbread cupcakes is that they don’t actually need frosting at all!

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!
