Enhanced Jiffy Corn Muffins
"I've used the box mix for years but really longed for a more moist muffin (but not as wet as spoon bread). Last night I added in some sour cream and some honey to the box mix, and then just threw in fresh corn kernels from a lone leftover ear and leftover chipotle pepper I had from a previous recipe -- and it came out moist and sweet and tasty! You can add your own "enhancements", like diced red bell pepper or bacon, etc."

I've always thought the plain Jiffy muffins were a little dry. I tried this recipe tonight (without the pepper) and the muffins were awesome! Thank you, Gina! -
Good starting point recipe. I omitted the corn & pepper, replaced it with crumbled (cooked) bacon and added 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Doubled the honey and added an extra egg. Delicious breakfast corn cupcakes! -
Easy and yummy! We eat this with chili, and I'm glad to have found something simple to beef up the Jiffy mix. I also skip the pepper but haven't tried it with it yet. I use blue agave instead of honey. Yum! -
This was amazing, I skipped the pepper and honey.....but add a teaspoon sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. It was so moist and tasted like I made it from scratch. Thank You! -
Excellent recipe with great flavor. I substituted 1tsp of chipotle pepper seasoning as I didn't have the actual peppers. Super simple and delicious
